powder in the face?
ok this is my first year in the ML business and i have a question.i have a knight wolverine and have shot it several times and a few times i have felt something hit me in the faceafter firing(not a huge smack or nothing just a very little something)i was wandering if this was powder blowing back outh the nipple and getting around the bolt or what the deal is and if that is anything i need to worry about?maybe something wrong with gun?i dont wanna lose an eye!

RE: powder in the face?
I have the same rifle and never had that problem. You might be getting some blow back through the nipple, and what your feeling is a small piece of the nipple it self. Wear shooting glasses.
I really am surprised that this is happening, with the bolt sliding forward to strike the nipple I would think anything blowing back would move upward instead of backward. Perhaps you have a scope.
Let us know if you discover what it is that is hitting you..... thanks.

I would venture to say that the Wolverine you're using is not 209.... not plastic disc insert. I would also venture to say that you are facing southwest while practicing. I will again-also venture to say that you are using RWS Dynamit Nobel Cheddites caps (red container).
Well... how close did I get?
