I bought a Remington Genesis 50 cal muzzleloader last season. It shoots good with 100 grains of powder and 295 grain powerbelts. The issue im having is when I load the gun up and leave it loaded it wont fire the next day. I can shoot the gun 4,5,6,7 times in a row and it fires everytime. But when I clean it and load it the next day it wont fire. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.
If you bringing it in from the cold, then moisture is getting to the power via condensation.
If you loading it the night before you go hunting and leaving the charge in there all night, change to cleaning your plug with 91% rubbing alchaol and drying it by browing it out with compressed air (buy one of the cans that you clean computer fans with) also make sure you clean your barrel DRY and don't put on gobs of bore butter, only a little bit.Here is a procedure writtenup by Randy Wakeman:

Also read your manual. My brother runs his gun parts (flint lock lock all the metal parts) thru the dish washer, but my wife I suspect wouldn't allow that. Good luck.
