Just about fed up…

This idea is not too popular amongst some folks. But I had this same problem with a CVA or two and a Traditions in the past. I know, a little different breech design. I took the nipples out and used a drill bit just above the size of the existing hole and drilled the nipples out. Never had another problem with these guns. I think in these instances the replacement nipples I had purchased weren't properly drilled.

Edit: I was referring to drilling out the tiny hole in the bottom of the nipple, not the larger opening in the top...

I never hunt with a wet patch type lube, hunting season the one or two times a year that I load with a wonder lube type patch, load the rifle, put a masking tape dot over the bore to seal it ( it rains here in the PNW) and the gun stays loaded until I harvest or the season ends and I always keep it stored in the truck or garage if I'm home for a bit, no need to heat the gun and take the chance of producing moisture in the barrel from the heat exchange, your mileage may vary.

.54 GPR yet again failed to fire. Clean and dry bore. Nylon brush through the fire channel. Popped a couple caps, paper moved.
90gr Swiss 3F, fresh CCI #11 Magnum cap (went off fine), t-shirt patch with T/C T-17 blue goo lube, .530 round ball. Tapped the stock to get powder into the channel.
Cap fired like it should. Not so much as a hang fire. Cost me a nice eating sized feral sow that was going to be given to a family that actually needs the meat.
And yet, the ROA that has been loaded and untouched for (where did the time go) 3-4 years? Went off like it had been loaded this afternoon.
Going to try again next week, have to work F/Sa/Su. Had to vent…

Why are you using a Tee shirt patch???

Why Blue Goo lube???

.530 RB, .018 quality ticking, 90 grains 3F Swiss and TOTW Mink Oil lube will serve you well.
