Primer for Shooting Black Powder

Use ONLY BLACKPOWDER. REAL blackpowder not the other stuff.
Some “substitutes” are horribly corrosive compared to black.
Some are designed for inlines and are ever harder to light off than their corrosive brothers. And are designed to run higher pressures and give high velocities with conicals.

Not only good, but VITAL info, Dan. So many barrels have been ruined with the use of phony BP's.

Still have a couple cans of GOEX but they have to be many decades old. We'll see if it still burns.
