Staff Sergeant
My solution to your problem is get one of theseWent off to the shooting range this morning. Bright and clear. All set up, black powder down the muzzle, patch and ball rammed home. Cap on nipple. Caps goes off. Nothing from main charge. Retried 3 times. Same result.
Had to come home, draw the ball and charge to find that the back of the charge was damp. My fault. I normally leave the washed and wiped barrel on the radiator to dry. This time I got distracted and there must have been a little dampness left in the breech. Waste of an early start but worse things could happen. Soon fixed when I got home.
