I have a 1999 CVA Hunterbolt 50 caliber muzzleloader. If I load the gun, cycle the bolt, and take the gun off of 'safe,' it does not fire when I pull the trigger. The firing pin/anvil does move forward, just doesn't ignite the primer. If I cycle the bolt again and pull the trigger, it fires. This happens every time that I shoot it - never fires the first trigger pull.
The gun is well used but generally clean. Serial # 61-13-XXXXXX-99
I'm using 100 grains of Pyrodex 50/50 pellets, 295 grain Powerbelt bullets, and #11 primers.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
