Best Suited For

  • Muzzleloading rifles (.50 caliber and under)
  • Percussion revolvers (cap & ball)
  • Single-shot black powder pistols
  • Black powder cartridge reloading (light loads)
  • Historical / reenactment shooting

📌 FFFg is considered the most versatile and commonly used black powder granulation

When To Use It

  • When shooting small to medium caliber muzzleloaders
  • When you need faster ignition and higher burn rate than FFG
  • For target shooting, hunting, or reenactment use
  • When FFFFg priming powder is unavailable (FFFg can substitute)
  • When using percussion (cap ignition) systems

Technical Information

  • Product Type: Traditional black powder
  • Granulation: FFFg (3F / Triple F)
  • Grain Size: Fine (approx. 0.3–0.85 mm typical for 3F powders)
  • Burn Rate: Fast (compared to FFG and FG)
  • Typical Use Range:
    • Rifles ≤ .50 cal
    • Pistols and revolvers
  • Container Size: 1kg

📊 Key principle:

  • Finer powder = faster burn & higher pressure
  • Coarser powder = slower burn & lower pressure

FAQs

1. What does FFFg mean?

  • “FFFg” = Triple F granulation
  • More “F’s” = finer powder and faster burn

2. Is this suitable for all muzzleloaders?

No. It is best for:

  • Smaller caliber rifles
  • Pistols and revolvers

⚠️ Larger calibers (.54+ or shotguns) typically use FFG instead.

3. Can it be used as priming powder?

Yes, if FFFFg is unavailable, though FFFFg is preferred for flintlocks

4. Is it the same as smokeless powder?

No.

  • Black powder burns differently and produces lower pressure
  • It is the only safe propellant for traditional muzzleloaders

5. Is it dangerous?

Yes. It is classified as an explosive material and must be handled carefully:

  • Extremely flammable
  • Sensitive to sparks, heat, and friction
