Hi Kary, Your problem is a common one with black powder guns as they build up a
lot of carbon residue when fired, 10 shots being a lot before they clog up. Many
people switch to hot shot nipples, which help, but still eventually foul after a
few firings. In the last couple of years, I have switched to musket cap nipples
that really work, since I have tried everything else. If your barrel is threaded
1/4x28 for nipples (not metric) you can get musket cap nipples from
Thompson-Center. They are about 3 times more powerful than #11 caps, and really
help to clear out the fire hole in the barrel between shots for more reliable
and continuous firings.
