i haven't taken my gun out in any nasty november weather yet, but i haven't have a single misfire with loose T7 and CCI #11 mag caps in all the target shooting i've done so far.  tried pyrodex pellets and had a misfire within 3 shots...
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

I shoot 777 pellets using the German musket caps in my Knight Bighorn and have had great success and no misfires.  Typically I hunt deer in Eastern WA scrub land.  Last year I also hunted elk in the wettest nastiest place on earth, Forks WA.  I did not have any issues there either and I was pleasantly surprised.

My hunting partner however using his CVA cannot shoot 777 pellets in his gun to save his life and has to use Pyrodex pellets.  The 777 pellets in his CVA often have a delay from the crack of the trigger pull to the boom of the powder going off.

T7 is harder to ignite than the others.... Questions?  Which rifle? which cap are you using?

If you are using a CVA or Traditions, remember they use the metric system and their flash channels and flash holes are smaller than the American counterparts.

im using cci musket caps and yes it is a traditions evolution. is there other breach plugs with bigger flash holes or anything that u know of that i could try? because it dose shoot a better group with the 777 but i just dont like the pop bang it always makes me pull my shot most of the time when im not on the bench

The only thing I could suggest would be try a different nipple.  The problem is that the flash hole in your current nipple is to small to pass enough heat to ignite the T7.  Also switching from T7-2f to T7-3f could help as it is a bit easier to ignite.

Look through this thread... when you get to the one I put in with nipple pictures it shows a musket nipple and #11 standing on the post showing the flash hole.  Both of these measure right at 0.032" - I would bet your Traditions nipple is tighter at 0.029/0.030 except it would be in metric.

You could take your current nipple to a machine shop have the flash hole measured and drilled out to 0.031/0.032"

Sabotloader, you're brilliant.  I never realized this was the reason why my buddy had issues with  his CVA.  I just never thought of this but it makes total sense.

Now I would not go that far... and I would also add that measure a CVA flash hole and see what you get before we all get to excited... I do believe a hole of 0.031-2 is the optimum
