Mauser,
Google up Traditional Muzzleloader Message Hide. It is a message board. I don't think they are accepting new members right now, but if you lurk there for a while, you can learn a lot of neat muzzleloader stuff.

I don't believe you'd notice any difference. I have even primed with FFg, and it fired about the same.... Just make sure the priming charge lies below, not over, the touch-hole!
