Artie97: My brother had the same problem trying to setup his Thunderhawk with Tripple 7 pellets and # 11 caps. He finally read the instructions on the box of pellets and its states: Not to be used with # 11 caps. He tried some of my loose Tripple 7 fff and it ignited every shot. He wanted to go back to his pyro pellets but talked him into trying loose pyrodex. To make a long story short he was very surprised when he found his guns sweet spot-385 grain Buffalo Ball conicals cutting holes at 100 yards useing 90 grains of loose Pyrodex RS. Another convert to loose powder and I ended up with 2 boxes of pyro and 1 box of Tripple 7 pellets to waste shooting at targets with my Omega. Its a dirty job but somebody has to so it.
