[QUOTE="sun, post: 4963532, member: 8678"] I was very surprised to see that the APP worked. Someone suggested that the India Bess must have an extra large vent hole. Folks have said that APP is usually unreliable in flintlocks,, but perhaps extra priming powder provides enough ignition for some other flintlocks to fire. I would like to hear if others have ever experienced the same type of success in flintlocks with it. I already know from one flintlock shooter who posted extensive chrony velocity testing and accuracy results that a 5 grain booster charge will reliably ignite a main charge of Pyrodex and 777. He had some custom flinters that had quality features and workmanship. He would simply top off his powder measure with the 5 grains of black powder to make the duplex load and drop it into the bore together at the same time as a single load. And the gent who posted as Herb on the MLF claimed that by doing it that way, the black powder would drop close enough to the vent to create ideal enough conditions for ignition. And to top it off, he claimed that he never had a misfire after loading and firing many thousands of rounds of these sub. powder duplex loads. It;'s simply amazing that his flinters were that reliable. Although he did use custom sized .30 -06 cases as fixed powder measures. But I think that he also used an adjustable one at times. And he also did the testing to benefit others so that they would know that it could be done, and that they could enjoy the benefits of using sub, powders knowing how their vielocities and consistencies compared to loading Goex black powder. He must have really enjoyed shooting his flinters over a chronograph and posting his targets as detailed public records. [/QUOTE]
