This is a real head-scratcher! Assuming you are shooting Blackhorn 209, it needs a "hot" primer like CCI magnum to properly ignite (Unless you have a specific "Blackhorn 209" shorter breechplug as sold for the CVA Wolf rifle, then regular 209 shotgun primers will work. Never use "ML" primers like those for Triple 7 and Pyrodex. They are too weak.)What kind of powder and what are the charges? Just off hand I'd guess that whatever you're shooting is too hot.
I've shot my Patriot with smokeless using Cheddite primers and they never looked like these, but then too the Ptriot doesn't require those micky mouse primer holders. Maybe invest in a conversion plug to eliminate needing those things.
Just a thought, with respect, for you and numerous other shooters of modern muzzleloaders. The manufacturers have found that Prodex and Triple 7, so commonly used, produce a lot of carbon buildup. Hence they began promoting the "muzzleloader" primers. As said above, in reality these ML primers are not only far from "magnum"strength but have less brissance (firing power) than regular 209 shotgun primers. ThatI don't use buckhorn 209 to expensive for this hillbilly. Like I've said I've never had this problem before. And i keep the breech plugs cleaned and have made sure there ain't no carbon build up. I don't think a cva nipple will fit my knight
Cheddites will lead to blow by occaisionally on my knight peregrine 40. They appear to be inconsistemt on size or something leading to big fps devitions but the winchester 777s never do.Well today I was shooting both my tk2000 and knight american I stopped after the first two shots out of both because of this. Can anyone explain what the problem is here I checked the breech plugs and they were clear and clean. Never had this happen with the cci m primersView attachment 34545
