    Getting a lot of Misfires.

    Like the title states, I’m getting a lot of misfires. In my pedersoli scout, I have to pull the nipple off and load the nipple area with powder for the powder in the barrel to ignite, then after I swab for the next shot, I’m having issues with the powder igniting. Tried both pyrodex and triple...

    I’m not entire sure what i did but I took the nipple off and cleaned it, put it back on and it popped caps from both tins no problems now.

    Percussion Caps

    #11 cci caps. I ordered them from muzzleloader.com. I’m going to go to my local bass pro to see if I can find any more.

    Percussion Caps

    I tried a different tin of caps and those caps worked. Maybe I have a bad batch?

    Percussion Caps

    Just went to pop a cap for the first time with my new pedersoli scout. The cap kind of just smushed and it didn’t go off. How do I get my caps to ignite?

    Shooting Conicals

    Anyone have any tips for removing the ram rod from the stock? I got my scout in the mail yesterday and the ram rock is pretty much frozen into the stock. It won’t budge at all.

    Shooting Conicals

    Ok I splurged. I bought everything I needed to shoot patched balls also. I bought Hornady and Speer 0.490 balls, unlubed patches, lubed patches. Patches from all thickness sizes to experiment with. I think my only issue now is going to being able to find the time to shoot all this. I guess my...

    This is what Pedersoli emailed me. They said use 0.010 patches.

    Shooting Conicals

    Hahahah I was going to start at what pedersoli told me maximum load was and work down in 5gr increments. I guess the opposite would be smarter.

    Oh wow that is a super nice grouping. Pedersoli in an email told me not to go over 90gr of FFg. Is that just a manufacturer warning? Can it safely be done going over?

    Do you use pyro r/s or p with the Great Plains? Also what volume of powder do you find most effective?

    Shooting Conicals

    Awesome thanks longcruise and okiehog. I went to my local bass pro today to get some more arrows for my bow. They had the triple 7 FFFg so I picked up a pound of that powder also. They didn’t have any 50 cal balls. I’ll try to order some off midway to try out. I’m excited to get into Traditional...

    What do you think is the best powder to shoot? Is it the black horn 209?

    Shooting Conicals

    I’m a competitive shooter, I shoot USPSA and the precision rifle series matches. I’m getting into ML because I enjoy primitive hunts. I’m going for black bear in November and I’d like to hunt bow one weekend and ML the next. I have nothing against shooting patched round balls. Is there any...

    The twist rate on my pedersoli scout is 1:34. I have the Hornady Great Plains coming in the mail. The Great Plains comes pre lubed. How do you clean to get the corrosives off? Just bore cleaner and oil? Also how much of a powder charge should I use for the Hornady Great Plains? 90gr?

    Shooting Conicals

    Hello All, I now have my first muzzleloader, it’s the pedersoli scout .50 in percussion. I’m looking to shoot the Hornady Great Plains conicals. Do I have to patch the conicals or used a plastic sleeve? Also how much grain of triple 7 FFg should I use for the Hornady great plains conical? I...
