Would yall use 2 f or 3 f in a navy arms rifle? I'll mostly only use it for demonstrations and not use bullets

looks like it comes in sticks or cubes, do these crush when you seat the bullet
any opinions on what powder to use would be help full.
I use FFF in all my muzzleloaders, rifle, pistol, and my flintlock for both the bullet charge and the primer pan. But I only use real black powder not the imitations, never had any real trouble at all.
I'll prime the pan on my Bess with 2F.
My rifles tho, especially hunting, I'll use 4F. I have fired them with 3F and no worries.

Isn't 3F & 4F for flintlock pans[?]
We have always used 2F in caplock rifles & inline rifles.

I was talking pan priming.
I load my Bess with 2F, I also will, on occasion, prime with 2F on the Bess, depending on the situation.
I load my rifles with 3F and prime with 4F.
