Hmm, what granulation of powder did you use? Not that I've played with
anything less than a .36 black powder rifle, but FFFFg or priming powder
seems to be in order here.
--For the mini-mortar and the hand cannon I'm using FFFFg Pyrodex;
for the big brute I use Pyrodex "RS" FFG, which is the coarsest powder
available in these parts. A friend gave me a few pounds of genuine black
powder, which has grains maybe twice as large as the "RS" grade.
