Default Green mt. barrel hang fires?

Took my new Green mountain barrel out yesterday for the first time. I could not get it to fire with 777 without a hangfire on my T/C renegade. Brought it home anddid a good soap and water cleaning followed by a butch'sbore shine.

Thought maybe the 777had something to dowith it, so today I got some pyrodex select, thought that might make a difference. Same thing,2 out ofthree shots would have a hangfire. I solved the problem byloading with bullet andpowder, then taking the nipple out and pouring a few grains in under the nipple, no more missfires, but I hate to have to do that every time.

Any suggestions on what may be causing this? I was using CCI # 11 percussion caps, that were a couple of years old, but they seem to go off every time and as I said, with a few grainsunder the nipple, no problems.
