Default Reliability Issues

Does anyone shoot a Winchester X-150 or have ACTUAL experience with them? I recently bought one from a gun dealer buddy who'd shot it 5 times in 3 years so it was basically new. I love the rifle, I really do. It looks great, and it shoots great.... IF and WHEN it shoots. I'm shooting Honady SST's over a pair of 777 pellets and Winchester primers, but I've had so many pop no kicks with this thing that it drives me crazy. I'm a firm believer that if you're not confident in your equipment that you won't enjoy much success and that's the reason I made the jump from shotgun to black powder. I'm meticulous with cleaning and maintaining all of my firearms, drilled into me from day one of basic training. So I know that my reliability issues aren't from the breech plug being dirty or plugged. Is there such a thing as TOO CLEAN with muzzle loaders? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
