Hello
I'm new here and been shooting a TC Hawkin for the last 2 years or so.
I have been shooting Triple 7 in it until this spring when I switched to Goex. Latley I've been having issues with misfires, the first few shots go off with no trouble then I start getting hang fires then misfires, I put on another cap and bang she goes. I wipe between shots with a lightly moistened almost dry patch.
I removed the nipple to drop a bit of powder under the nipple to get it shoot and I noticed that there is a thin film of residue under the nipple.
I'm wondering if this is what's causing the misfire, the first cap punches a hole in the film then the second patch shoots it?
Is there a way to prevent this residue?
