At 7:15 this morning I was covered up with deer. Sitting in blind I took my 1st shot. Sounded like a cap gun, not igniting powder. I snapped 5 or 6 on same doe. I drove 20 miles to my house to grab a newer Knight that uses a shot gun primers. Back in blind by 10:00, ten minutes later had a buck on the ground. I know my old mk85 is a good shooter, and it was clean. Could these percussion caps be so old they went bad? I hear em go off, but it's hit or miss igniting powder.
