Replica BlackPowder & Flintlocks.

[Darto]

Replica powders do not do well in firelocks (like they do well in percussion muzzle loaders).
So for flintlocks, matchlocks, etc. Hodgdon recomends 5 grains of ffffG behind a Pyrodex load reduced 5 grains:

It is not easy to fit a nozzle of a flask into a 22 LR shell (holds 6 grains BP), or other tiny measure. One solution is a flask that would throw 5 grains, if you could find one.

TOW is closing out (soon be gone) a replica of an historical Hawksley flask that adjusts 3 positions to throw 5.1, 6.5, 8.5 grains.

Tiny, the size of a screw driver handle, attractive, authentic replica, has hang loop, spring loaded charger, head screws on and off for easy fill. I just received one and find it to look and work most excellent !

WHAT? TOW is closing? Damn, I just committed to buying a very expensive upper tomorrow. Now, how am I going to buy TOW out of everything? Oh well, time to go shopping.

I think he means TOTW has the patented Hawksley flask on close-out, meaning they want to sell off their stock and then not re-order them. If TOTW shut down, I'd have to learn to cast my own minies

Thank God! I think you're right and I misread what the OP wrote. Hell, even if they aren't closing, I'll show you how to cast anytime you're in my area.

Sorry guys for the misunderstanding and sloppy writing. But what I meant to say is they are downsizing all products to smaller sizes and changing brandname from TOW to Track of the Kitty.
