did some ignition tests and used goex 3f exclusively, with 10 grains down the tube for a "blank" load, and about 2 grains of the same 3f in the pan. worked very well, and I did 4 more ignition test runs before I had to rig up a fan to push out all that stinky smoke from my basement shop. :lol:

I had a basement shop in Wyoming,..... and you are right about needing a fan to air the place out after touching off a bit of BP.

Rocklock:
thanks for the BlackPowderMag.com site. Interesting read as I did have some concern about a high vent - not any more with the testing that was done.
Thanks again
