First year in muzzleloading got a great deal on a cva accura v2 .50 thumbstock
I been educating my self by reading and watching some how to videos, but I did run into some problems while sighting in the cva today and I hope someone has some ideas below is my gun info.
1- powder using 150g whitehots pellets
2- bullet 270g powerbelt platinum
3-primer Winchester triple 7
I did clean the gun before I went out shooting, soaked the breech in cva cleaner and reinstalled with breech lube.
I did not remove the firing pin but I sprayed that area with some lube which may of been a mistake ?
Today while shooting for my first time I did shoot a primer to make sure breech was cleared then installed my load
Pulled back the hammer then pulled the trigger the hammer released but only dropped 1/16 inch if that not far enough to hit the firing pin. I had to pull the hammer back and I felt it cock and it did the same thing I repeated the above steps 3 different time then finally went off. It did the about problem 60 percent of the time. I noticed if I dropped the breech and slam it closed seems like it went off with the first trigger pull.
Has anyone ever run into this problem or can give me some advise on your opinion
Btw the gun shot great except for this problem that is driving me crazy
Thanks
