I have shot with many flintlock shooters over the years and the one common thing that they have all taught me is that getting the right depth of powder in the pan makes all the difference with flash in the pan, slow or no ignition. The powder in the pan has to be slightly lower than the touch hole . The flame from the powder goes up and out at an angle when ignited . All of these seasoned flintlock shooters have told me that it is a lot of trial and error to establish the correct amount of priming powder in the pan . I don’t honestly have an answer as far as brand or model as I have seen out of the box guns and customs that will actually fire faster than caplock guns . Just my 2 cents worth I hope it is helpful for you
