[QUOTE="OrangeMan73, post: 2343892, member: 29201"] So here's the situation: Gun = brand new Knight Ultralite, 50 cal Ignition System = Western style breech, with musket cap nipple installed Musket Caps = Schuetzen Musket Caps, 4 Wing Style I've never shot this gun. I'm getting ready to work up a load using some Hornady Prairie Hunters and 777, but I wanted to confirm the Schuetzen caps I got would ignite. I've fired about 10 of them (with empty bore) and I'm not hearing any audible "pop" and when I look at the caps they don't seem dented enough to me. I've reseated on a few them of several times just to make sure they're not getting seated well. What does a properly fired musket cap look like when it's actually ignited? And what kind of sound does it make? I would have assumed its really loud. Is there a trick for the bolt and musket caps that I'm missing? I appreciate the help, my hunt starts in a few days. Trying to shop around and look for other caps, whether they be musket or percussion, is somewhat problematic right now... [/QUOTE]
