I’m curious if anyone has a persistent issue or problem with a muzzleloader that you simply can’t fix?
For example, I’ve got a side by side shotgun and after about 6-7 shots the right barrel will misfire and get clogged up. The left barrel never does. I’ve been down in that breech with a scope and see no difference between it and the left barrel. I load each barrel the exact same way. I’ve tried different kinds of percussion caps and different kinds of nipples but, alas, the mysterious misfires remain. Even putting powder under the nipple and picking it clean through will not help, and I have to pull the load.
Maybe I need an exorcist?
Anyone else with weirdness in your guns?
