What to do if a hang fire happens when shooting a muzzle loader?

First, keep the muzzle pointed downrange in a safe direction for at least 1 minute. HANGFIRE means that firing has been DELAYED- it MAY happen when you do not expect it. After 1 full minute, reprime the arm, and attempt to fire a second time. If it is a caplock, replace the cap. If a flintlock, replace the priming powder in the pan, and attempt to refire. If it still does not fire, wait a full 5 minutes. Remove the barrel from the firearm, place in flat in a container of warm water, submerging the barrel. Let soak at least 30 minutes, the use a bullet puller to remove the bullet, wash out powder, dry, reassembled.


When a hang fire or misfire happens immediately eject the cartridge or shell to clear the chamber?

When you pull the trigger and nothing happens you don't know whether you have a misfire (failure to go off) or a hangfire (delayed firing). You should continue to point the muzzle in a safe direction for 30 seconds and then deal with the issue appropriately. Tap the magazine to ensure that it is in place and properly seated, then rack the slide to cycle to the next round. All the while keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire at your target.
