Default Muzzle Loader Problem

Hey guys,

I ran into an issue this weekend. I took my muzzle loader to the range to get ready for an upcoming hunt in TN. The problem that I ran into is that I stuffed two 777 down the barrel and fired it and it didn't go off. Not even after 3 primers. I disassembled the muzzle loader and found that the breech plug was totally clear. The pellets were covered in black stuff but didn't burn. This happend a couple of times. I then opened a new pack of pellets and the gun fired.

So at this point I'm assuming that the pellets went bad. How did that happen? I have had them for about 6 months, they have never left the case.

I have a knight master hunter II if that makes a difference.

Thanks
Tom
