[QUOTE="rewiltshire, post: 1824625, member: 53629"] I have always worried about this on my black powder loads. “Would a kernel of powder in the primer cause a non uniform firing”? I know it might sound crazy, but it was a question I had. A couple years ago at Quigley I got into a discussion with a group of old time shooters. One told me that he cut a wad from a newpaper and placed it at the bottom of the case before he loaded the powder. As most of us uses a wad over the powder, between the bullet – powder anyway, I just used my cutting punch on some old newspaper to make my over the flash hole wad. Now these are straight walled cases, not bottle neck, its not the hard to do. We all seem to have our “special ways” and I will admit to being a crazy old coot. BUT my routine for loading for black powder is a lot different that loading smokeless! [/QUOTE]
