I just picked up a 50 caliber TC Firestorm flintlock. Does anyone shoot one of these with the pyrodex pellets? Haven't shot it yet BUT all the oldtimes at the club have told me the pellets don't work. Why would TC put this rifle out if it doesn't work as advertised. Just looking for some input!...Thanks

I shoot the Traditions Pa pellet same principle I use 1 50 gr and 1 30 gr pellet total 80 gr and a powerbelt 395 gr bullet .......when loading the pan turn your rifle on its side and put some 4 f in the touch hole and then fill the pan normally ..........I have had this gun for 5 yrs hunted with it ,shot it at the range and only once had it not fire and that was my fault for not cleaning the touch hole properly

I used pellets in a couple different Omegas that I had over the years.I ended going back to loose pwder because I really never saw any advantage to the pellets.
