I prefer 3f as its finer and burns a bit better.

I would suggest 3f with cap ignition and 2f with primer ignition.
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

3F for me with Musket cap.

Get almost 200 fps faster over 2F

I had my gun missfire for the first time today with it. do you think it has something to do with using loose powder? I was running patches between shots, one with cva barrel blaster wonder gel followed by a dry patch. I put another primer in and then the load fired.
