Try ccI magnum caps
Yep, been doing that since I began in the early 80’s. Between that and snapping a cap after cleaning and prior to loading, I don’t have misfires.All I know is that my cheapest rifle, CVA .50 percussion Hawken is my most accurate when I am using it! I agree with Flatcreek on tapping the side of rifle. That has become muscle memory and I rarely if ever have a misfire.
do this every timeTap the side of the rifle with the heal of your hand a few times after dumping the powder in before the patch and ball to get it to settle in the breach.
Yesdo this every time
Sounds like some crud in the flash channel or rust ,give a good flush pumping and run a pipe cleaner in it with rubbing alcohol before you shoot it to make sure you get all the oil out .
