[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 202845, member: 8873"] I had a mishap with some Remington percussion caps once, if that relates at all. I had a single shot muzzle loading .50 cal pistol that I decided to deer hunt with several years back. It shot a load of 80grns pyrodex and a Remington cap. I shot this thing dozens of times getting used to the sights and the recoil. The day before season I shot all my caps and went to Wally World and bought another pack. The next morning I had a huge 13 point walk to within 15 steps of my ground blind and stop to grab a bite to eat. I had the pistol up with my hands rested over my knees and was actually smiling thinking "This is too easy!" when I squeezed the trigger...."CLICK!". The deer looked up at me, I slowly pulled the hammer back again and "CLICK!". He just stared at me and in a fit of rage I threw the pistol at him. A week later a guy not far down the ridge on some adjoining property killed him, 160" plus 13point. Half of those caps didn't go off and the boys at Remington got an ear full and probably a good laugh out of it. [/QUOTE]
