Okay, getting close time wise to buying a Remington New Army cap and ball revolver. So I need to find some powder and primers to actually be able to shoot it.
I've read where there are some fairly new black powder substitutes out such as Old Eynesford (spelling?), etc. I've always leaned towards the innovative and right now I'm wondering if any of the newer powders offer an advantage for cap & ball revolvers that lifts it above the others, assuming one is buying powder.
I don't have any powder now, so my preference, rather than sample a half dozen brands, is to do some researching, reading, ask questions, then buy enough of one brand to last a while. That's worked well for me in the past and saved me some money, so if possible, I'd like to try that here.
So what are the worthwhile black powder substitutes to look at and think about buying for a cap & ball revolver? I hear FF is the right size in some places, but see where in others folks using FFF. So I'm looking to be enlightened before I spend my hard earned nickels.
Especially so since I'm upgrading my sandblasting setup and adding full sized parking/bluing tanks at the same time.
Thank you,
