Sarge Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That's not typical of black powder as far as I remember. Seems like a blockage of some kind. We used to really stoke our muzzleloaders back in the day. They just made more noise and sometimes blew powder out the muzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modoc Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Looked like he was using one of the substitutes. Not too sure about them for pressures. He could have double charged it or did not get the ball firmly seated on the charge (think obstructed bore). Not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It was definitely a blockage of some sort. I stoke mine with 150 grains of either BP or Pyrodex. Where was his ram rod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Where was his ram rod? I noticed that too, It was not in the thimbles under the barrel, On the other hand, I HAVE seen the ramrod LAUNCHED down range like an arrow, if forgotten in the heat of competition Edited April 15, 2012 by Modoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
