Mountain State's Extra Fine Priming Powder

[Kevin]

Here's a blast from the past:



I'm still working on using up some shooting supplies from circa 1980.  Today at the range I refilled my priming horn and the bottle is almost empty.

Anybody have any idea if this is comparable to Swiss Null B?

I prime with 4fg rain or shine all the time. I have learned how to use it in different weather conditions after a couple of decades. But I wouldn't use that stuff or anything finer, it will soak up moisture like a sponge and a flintlock that don't fire is worthless.

That may be the reason so many once fine flintlock rifles have a drum and nipple and a butchered lock .

don"t know about Null B but I have 2 pounds of 7f. has to be 20 years old, still sealed up. Looks like baby powder.
