triple seven powder question
I have a Knight disc rifle the shoots the triple seven pellets very well. so I thought I would try the pellets in my thompson center Hawken, I cant get the pellets to fire. Do I need to go to loose power in my hawken. won't pellets work in a side lock muzzleloader. Thanks, Steve.

Do I need to go to loose power in my hawken. won't pellets work in a side lock muzzleloader. Thanks, Steve. the traditional rifle, unless designed for pellets, normally do not fire pellets in a consistent manner. Stick with loose powder and your #11 cap and you will have no problems what so ever. There are only a few traditional rifle made to shoot pellets such as; the T/CFirestorm, PA Pellet, and RMC Accursport. Leave them expensive pellets for your Disc rifle. |

As Cayugad mentioned, pellets do not reliably and consistantly ignite in sidelock ML's either percussion or flint (actually impossible with flint unless you duplex load some black underneath the pellets).
