Click...Hiss...Bang!

Wondering why there was such a delay when firing my rifle? I put that out there on Muzzleloadingforum.com and got back some useful advice -- vent hole too small, too much priming in the wrong area of the pan, used the wrong brand of powder.... To learn more, why not go to the forum itself: www.muzzleloadingforum.com. You'll have to register, but that's free. Just go to "The Builder's Bench" forum and scroll down to "Fired my first...."

Have fun.
