[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 5152572, member: 9066"] I can't seem to find it now, but somewhere I've read that, under controlled conditions, the average caplock ignition time is indeed faster than that of the flintlock. The hitch is that the difference is measured in milliseconds which are impossible for the human mind to discern. I'm thinking it might be in Larry Pletcher's very excellent work seen here on his web page( [URL]https://www.blackpowdermag.com/[/URL] ). Below is a target I shot quite a few years ago when I was much more "on my game". It was at 100 yards offhand, open iron sights and with my Jack Garner .54 caliber flintlock. This is quite possible with a quality well tuned gun using basic markmanship skills....never noticed the pan flash. [/QUOTE]
