I have a model 700 remington ML the first ones made, converted to 209 ignition. I purchased it a week or so ago, nice clean gun. stripped it down cleaned it well before shooting.
I made 2 shots no delays. Cleaned well again made 2 more shots both shots delay fired. Cleaned, shot 1 more no delay. Since then ive had a few delay fires. Shooting winchester 777 209 primers. and Triple 7 powder 2 pellets.
Iv'e read where people have drilled out the nipple hole to make this less of an issue. I am looking for maybe another Nipple that has already been made with a bigger hole for this reason, as I am sure this is the problem. Powder is good and dry and used in my other muzzleloader just fine. I have heard of people going to a musket cap nipple and had great success as well. Can anyone give me some tips here? thanks guys!
