If you"re using the Remington #11 caps, that might be your problem right there... I hate those caps!! Of all the caps I have shot the ones that gave me nothing but problems were the Remington. And wouldn't you know it, the Wal Mart where I live would only carry them after they ran out of CCI Magnum #11 caps.
I finally bought myself a case of the Dynamite Noble 1075. Now them are caps. They make everything go BOOM! I always have excellent luck with them. As for the Remington, well I have some tins in the gun room and when I am preparing the rifle to take it to the range outside, I will use them to pop through the nipple....

Hey Triple Se7en I am using the Remingtion #11 caps that are supposed to be 40% hotter. The powder channel is always clear. I think I'm just going to go to using FFF /P powder in the sidelocks and see what happens. I think it will do just fine. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Finnadict.. I kid you not, I had to get two tins of the Remington caps to hold me over until I could find something else, and I bet I had over 10% misfires out of those tins. The CCI Magnums worked great for me but I did not like the plain CCI's. And the 1075's I can not remember ever having a misfire with them.

RWS Dynamit Nobel 1075s are the best (red box).
If you are having so many problems with Remington & CCI-Mag caps, you need to change that nipple. They are cheap so why not change that when you buy new, smaller granule powder? Buy a Hot Shot or Splitfire nipplefrom Cabelas.... or try the 209 upgrade mentioned here.

I'm not doubting you had many a misfire off of the Remingtons and I think I was using the regular CCI's which I was not a huge fan of. I am using a Hot Shot nipple and it's really not that I'm having any real trouble, I just want to see if I can get Pyrodex to touch off like Goex. After hunting season (which starts on the 10th of Sept.) I'll play around a bit with some different options and see what happens.
