I am going on an elk hunt in Washington and purchased the CVA Northwest muzzleloader to be legal in that state. I can't get it to fire more than once!
Attached is a picture of the cci musket cap I am using. After the initial shot, the cap goes off but not hot enough to fire. I clean the breech plug with a drill bit and torch tip file after each shot, plus clean the barrel.
I have made the 30 minute drive to the range 3 times and have fired a total of 4 shots. This morning, after thoroughly cleaning and soaking everything over the weekend, I was able to fire ONE SHOT, then had 4 hangfires in a row, packed up and drove home.
What musket caps is everyone using?!?! RWS? So frustrated right now with this set up. Also shooting Hodgdon Triple 7 powder.
