I just bought a Kentucky rifle and am having trouble getting the powder to ignite in the barrel. Its a percussion and I usually have to go through 3 caps to get the thing to fire. I bought FFFG Pyrodex powder and I am thinking I should have bought FFG. Will this help? What else can I do?
I am also having trouble getting the ball started in the barrel. I put the patch around the ball and have to push way too hard to get it started. I am pushing hard enough to cut the ball with the ball starter. Any tips for this as well?
