Makes sense. I think I'll make the switch and make sure I get some good primers/keep the plug clean. It's worth it to not have to clean it so much and intensely.
Thanks for the advice

No I totally get that. I'm just curious what the "other" thing could have been. It was loaded up 4 hours prior and in super standard conditions 60, dry, etc. Just trying to learn from it mainly and figure out if powder is related to reliability or what other things can be done to prevent...
I'm curious to hear if anyone has hunting experiences that dictate which powder they use? Specifically T7 Vs. BH209
A little background- I am hunting muzzleloader for the 2nd time in CO. I have hunted many years in the midwest with the pellets, but the use of loose powder is fairly new to me. I...

I have quite a bit of...
