OK, I didn't shoot it, but a student brought one to the muzzle loading class. He fired a few round but after the third round, his Rem 209 primer didn't ignite his Pyrodex powder. We pulled the plug, cleaned it and it still wouldn't fire. We then sprinkled some 2F powder down the chamber and then it went boom!
Everytime he used only Pyrodex, he had trouble. When he went with holy black, no problem. We suggested he get hotter 209 primers and try finding holy black.
