We have ignition!

There are a variety of modern, "fake" explosive compounds used in black powder firearms. But these new fashions of gunpowder have a some properties, such as a higher ignition temperature, that make them poor substitutes for the real sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal stuff when it comes to some rifles, such as my flintlock.

Some folks weren't even sure you could fire a flintlock with the powder I've been using: http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/

This leads to a lot of misfires and long delays between the "click" and the "bang."

But the real stuff is hard to find.

But there's a store in Cherryville....
