Thanks for the extra ideas guys. Using an alcohol swab prior sounds good too. Saw on another forum (cayugad I believe) had the same advice. He'll shoot a few caps (no powder) just to be sure the flash channel is clear.

I had a work seminar today a distance away and wouldn't you know I passed right by the semi-local (or semi-remote) gun shop and picked up two more packages of caps. Apparently Dynamit Nobel 1075 is a good cap? Hope so as I now have 300 of them smile

Also got lucky and found a T/C Hot Shot nipple there too. I thought they had been discontinued. Perhaps it was just old stock, idk. Anyway, was glad to bring it home.

I've already casted some .530" pure lead round balls. Hoping to pack up the Goex FF, .015" and .018" patches and get to the range soon to shoot this new-fangled technology for the first time grin
