This is weird you should mention this.......last night while Hunting with my Buddy, he's shooting a TC Triumph TC Shock Waves and T7 Pellets with Remington Kleen Bore Primers. I heard him shoot,,,,,,it sounded like fffffffffffet.....BOOOOOOOM. I knew instantly that something was'nt right, it sounded like a hang fire to me. I called him on the Walkie Talkie and he said he shot at a Buck but the Deer did'nt show any signs if a hit and the ran off. He looked in the Snow for sign for awhile and there was none, a clean miss.
Today he shot off a few rounds to gain some confidence as he's new to ML and he's already shot at 2 deer and missed both. I Inspected his ML to make sure all was well and swabed and loaded it for him then let him shoot. Well the second shot was another Hang Fire???? I took out the breech plug, looked the ML over, swabbed it again and reloaded. Next shot was fine, so was the second......then on the third shot another Hang Fire???? No explanition for it execpt the T7 Pellets. Any Suggestions???
