Longer delays?
« on: May 05, 2014, 01:56:37 PM »
Kind of weird... I took my ML out the other day and the delay between cap and powder BOOM was a little longer than usual.  It used to be borderline instantaneous and now there's probably a full second of delay.  Any tips on this?  I'm thinking maybe my powder received a little moisture over the last few years?

find a drill bit that fits into the cap side of the nipple shaft, these clog up a lot even with #11 caps. Spin it with your fingers and see how much crud comes out. We get this badly with 209 primers in the newer inlines. When its clogged up, it cuts down the amount of volume it can take and blows the rest out the side when the cap crushes.

Thanks!

I'm not smoking something here right?  I mean I could swear that I used to have an almost-instant shot.
