[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 2259122, member: 18849"] Are your primers real clean with no soot after firing? The standard breech plug may be a little loose and be letting gas by the primers which in turn plugs the firing pin hole. The inert in the reciever that the firing pin goes through is slotted on mine and should be removed at each cleaning. When i shot pyrodex powder pellets this insert would often plug with smoke residue. I have since switched to Blackbhorn 209 and switched the breech plug to the one recommended by blackhorn. My primers fit more snug now and fouling in the firing pin area is reduced, no problems since, but i better check, it doesn't get shot many times per year. [/QUOTE]
