black powder hunters, going to Colorado for the M.L.season real soon and was doing some target practice last evening. Using my model Remington 700 .54 caliber with an after market 209 primer ignition kit put in it. 90 grains of BH 209 and a 518 grain No Excuses bullet with wool pad in between. The weapon was clean and I fired one HOT Federal 209 primer thru it and loaded. When I squeezed the trigger-----CLICK. What in the world. Put in another primer and repeat CLICK....took the bolt out and breech plug and removed the bullet and powder...Cleaned everything good......new primer and new powder and fired off another shot...Same Click. Someone told me a few ago that I should always tamp the bullet and powder snugly and I tamped the load again and this time I put some good pressure on the ramrod. Aimed and fired! Perfect ignition. Re-loaded with same load and a good tamp job and Ka-BOOM again. shot four more at the 100 yard distance with perfect ignition each and every time........would some of you say that the Black Horn powder MUST be tamped somewhat firmly into the barrel? I did not tamp with authority that first or second load.....after the mis-fires, I did tamp with some power downward. Any comments or concerns? Have any of you had this similar situation????
