Default APP Powder Problem

Over the weekend I went out in my backyard to figure out my deerload for the year. I was going to try 295 grain vs 245 grain powerbelts using 777 pellets vs APP Pellets. I started using the 777 & found the 245 grain grouped better at 100 yards then the 295 grain using 100 grain pellet loads. I wentthrough the standard breakdown cleaning & began using the APP pellets.

Fist two shots were right with the 777. I then cleaned the gun and let it cool. I then loaded the APP again and had a miss fire. I obviously waited, removed the load, cleaned etc... I reloaded the APP aimed and when the gun went off I had a half kick and a smoking wad of powder and bullet went about 50 yards down range. I figured there had to be user error here, so I cleaned the gun, loaded with 777 to compare and bullseye! Swabbed the barrel loaded with APP & misfire! [:@]
I spent the rest of the day using 777 with no problems. I will stick with 777, 2 out 5 shots actually going off does not give me a lot of confidence in woods.
