ss-crew said:I am new to muzzleloading and experienced the same problem last weekend.
I was using the pre-saturated #13 patches and felt they were way too wet. I'm using 777 pellets, 777 primers, and 250gr shockwaves in my T/C Pro Hunter. The 1st shot fired right off, no problem. Then I ran one "wet" patch and one dry patch (exactly as shown in T/C's video that came with my gun). Then on the 2nd shot I got a click, but no bang! :shock: I put another primer in and another click, but no bang. After removing the pellets and shockwave, I figured it must have been too wet to fire. :?
For my remaining shots, I used 1 wet patch and 2 dry patches and it worked better, but I still had a couple click slight pause then fire. :|
I am not comfortable with this gun yet and am very glad to read this post and advice from the experienced shooters. I'll try drying out the pre-saturated patches a little before using them again.
