I still frequently shoot my Indian replica of a 1750's era Brown Bess Flintlock.  The flint I can knap to keep the sparks flowing.  Luckily ZAR powder is readily available and I cast my own .715" round balls for the Bess, and .735" round balls for the Enfield.

I have to admit that I do not shoot my BP guns as much as I want to, as cleaning them if a bit of a PITA.

BTW a  load of 80 grains WANO FFG behind a 550grain .715" round ball travels at about 1000 ft/sec from the Bess.]]> Black Powder Krazong https://systemz.online/black-powder/availability-of-percussion-caps
