[QUOTE="arrowdem, post: 92343, member: 352"] alrighty well i got the muzzle loader to go off once yesterday and i had 4-5 holes in the target that would have been hits and probably 8 holes in the target in total and this was at 20 yards which i have put as my max distance.. now my problem is it took like 10 times before i could get that damn muzzle loader to shoot, im shooting the old hawken and its a percussion cap ML and i was using pellet style powder.. is this a no no when it comes to shooting something that is not an inline? or is it possible my powder is junk as its kinda old pellets and i tried to set fire to one with a lighter and got no results.. im kinda thinking its the powder but not positive.. i do know that the nipple that holds the percussion cap is super super stuck in the gun and i have a load in there still that i cannot for the life of me get to fire outta there.. so i have to deal with that today before i do anything, but what do you guys suggest i do? go to a powder instead of a pellet maybe or just buy new pellet stuff?
