PLUNDERING PYLOS PARKER

remember back in history they (pirates) used what was on hand, and most of the time in was the same powder for both primer and main charge

ramrod-if yer just shootin powder-no ramrod needed-but you will want a claening rod and worms or jigs and remember tow or cleaning patc hes.

i have 3 quenn annes, if i shoot straight powder (no ball) i use 2F for the main charge and 3 or 4 F to prime, or whatever i have left over. but when just shooting powder alone 2F will work fine for a primer-but remember 2F isnt as quik as 4F

if yer just shootin powder and not round ball-it really doesnt matter what grainage of powder down the barrel-although 3 and 4 f are usally for priming the pan, and generally 2f is for the onside of the barrel, the higher the number of f's the finer the powder is.the finer the powder the quiker the load ignites. but they all light fast. cannon powder or 1F grains of powder are much bigger than 4f.

I would have to agree with Matt Stagmer, the London scenes in the begining was the best part of the movie. i didnt like all the changes in this sequal, Disney should get Gore back to direct the next 2 movies (5 & 6), and Disney should consider branging back Pintel, Ragetti, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann,Cotton and Cottons parrot, Marty, Giselle, Scarlet, Mullroy & Murtogg and the Prison Dog. Blackbeard was so off he should have been taller and Disney should have used the correct flag also. I thought the mermaids were going to be bad, but actually they were really good and hot looking. i saw it in the Non 3-D edition, i will go back and compare the 3-D to see it that way too. On a scale 1-10 i give it 7 1/2. i feel the 3rd sequal was best as it explained alot about the first 2 movies (Davy Jones) and the ship battle was sweet!
