Please Go Bang

I leave mine dirty during the season ( It is only 3 days) and I only use black powder.From what I have noticed the synthetics have a harder time lighting out of a few of my guns, I also changed my nipples from #11s to musket caps And that cut down on the pops with no bang. I also figured out if it is wet and cold (not hot)a little vasaline on and around the cap help keep the cap dry enough to fire.It also helps with the clean up after it has been fired.
