I use 4F blackpowder in the priming pan, and 3F in the barrel. After I prime the pan I tap the prime powder towards the flash hole and then get a straightened out paper clip and poke it in the flash hole as far as it will go to give the main charge a channel to lessen the time it takes to fire. this helped me a lot to tighten up the groups. Blackpowder is always the best if you can get your hands on some. In my Traditions Kentucky .50 cal, I get the best shots with 73 grains of 3F.

your putting too much priming powder in the pan. Thats why it takes a couple of seconds to fire. I have one and it takes very little 4f powder.
