Most of them will fire off the pan powder ok. It's getting the main charge to go off that's the problem. I had a Jim Chambers White Lightning vent liner installed in my GPR and it made a world of difference. It fires every time now and damn near as fast as a caplock.

I'm confident enough to use it for bear hunting now.
