triple seven powder question
I have a Knight disc rifle the shoots the triple seven pellets very well. so I thought I would try the pellets in my thompson center Hawken, I cant get the pellets to fire. Do I need to go to loose power in my hawken. won't pellets work in a side lock muzzleloader. Thanks, Steve.

the traditional rifle, unless designed for pellets, normally do not fire pellets in a consistent manner. Stick with loose powder and your #11 cap and you will have no problems what so ever. There are only a few traditional rifle made to shoot pellets such as; the T/CFirestorm, PA Pellet, and RMC Accursport. Leave them expensive pellets for your Disc rifle.

As Cayugad mentioned, pellets do not reliably and consistantly ignite in sidelock ML's either percussion or flint (actually impossible with flint unless you duplex load some black underneath the pellets).
