completely worthless! Ive never touched one in all the years of muzzleloading.
The only channel screw I trust is the one that on a "new" rifle. For the most part, I wish they were not there and yes, I have broken enough of them to learn a lesson. The slotted heads are the worse. ......If the OP can get his free'd up, he's ahead of the game from that point on
Totally agree and can be done very effectively once you get a technique that works for you. ....I'd say you certainly *can* clean the fire channel without removing the screw, it's just easier if you do it.
I soak, flush and brush. .....How do you clean the fire channel without removing the screw ?
When it tells you, there is a problem starting. ....How do you know when you need a new nipple ?
It is normal and if not, one could say that your caps are defective. This fit will change with time and going to a different cap. If you like, prefit the cap by pushing them down with your thumb. You could also dress up you cone and later complain cause your nipple are now loose. This is all part of this great adventure. ....Is this normal
