My Triumph is getting loose. I already tried putting shims in the primer pocket.

I converted a .54 Renegade to use musket caps and now cannot get it to fire at all. The caps are going off but no ignition. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

I just saw American Pioneer and Shockey's Gold for sale at Gander Mountain. I didn't know they were still being made. Is anyone using either of them?

I get occasional hangfires in my Triumph. I got a set of bits to clean the primer pocket. http://www.plugcleaner.com/ It seems to work well as I see alot of residue when I clean the plug, but I still get the occasional hangfire. I am shooting Blackhorn with CCI primers. Any suggestions will be...

I got a doe in the PA early muzzleloader season last week using a TC Triumph, 100 grains Blackhorn, 250 Hornady FT X with a crush rib sabot. Shot was head on about 90-100 yards, hit base of the neck. Bullet exited just under the spine half way back. I am really sold on the accuracy and...

I am having problems with misfires on my 20 gauge Ultra Slug Hunter. The primer is hit fairly hard but the rounds will not fire. It's not the ammo because it fires in other guns. I have had the problem with Winchester Partion Golds and Hornady SSTs. This gun was sent back to the factory and...

When loading a Maxi-ball, is it necesary or beneficial to use an over the powder wad? I was going to try it with 80 grains of 2f swiss. Any suggestions?

I got my first flintlock and round ball deer Saturday in PA during the early muzzleloader season. I have gotten plenty with the inline and even got a few shooting Powerbelts out of my flintlock, but never with a round ball. I used a .490 ball, .020 patch and 70 grains of Swiss out of my Lyman...

I was hoping someone shot both the White Hots and BH 209 and could give me a comparison on performance, cleaning, etc. Thanks

I get an occasional hangfire in my Triumph. I am using Blackhorn 209 and Winchester 209 primers. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Several shots go off fine, then a hangfire ot two, then it's fine again. Sometimes it happens after cleaning, sometimes not. I alway blow a cap through before...

I have had pretty good luck killing deer wit a 300 grain XTP MAG bullet, but was curious as to the difference between it and a regular XTP.

I had to buy a new breech plug for my Triumph due to the rings that prevent blow by breaking apart. The rubber gasket in the back was fine. The rings that broke appeared to be metal of some type. I believe there are three of them about a third of the way from the end of the plug. Has anyone...

What is the difference between the HORNADY XTP AND THE XTP MAG? They are the same weight and diameter.

I saw great reports on the Scorpion PT, and was wondering if anyone shot the Scorpion Funnel Points. I got good groups, but I was hoping to find out how they perform on deer.

I would like to try Goex Pinnacle in my Omega to avoid the 777 crud ring. Does anyone know of a dealer in eastern PA or NJ? Also, have any of you tried it? 777 shoots well but the crud ring is a pain in the ###.
