It sounds like a bullet problem, but start with the basics first. Try a lighter powder load, you may be over charging the bullet weight or type of bullet, (pushing the bullet out too fast) If you are using a sabot with a plastic base it may not begrabbing the rifling in the barrel and thus not imparting a spin on the bullet. Second could be the bullet/sabot itself, it may be ever so slightly too small and have the same effect of not grabbing the rifling in the barrel. Try another brand of bullet with a bit heavier grain weight or another sabot size (you may have to psychically measure the sabots) If you are not using sabots then go with another brand of bullet that is larger than what you use now, (even though the stated diameter may be the same, say .490 they can vary enough from brand to brand to make a difference) Try those and if you still get the same result we can go deeper into the technical aspects.

What do you do if a hang fire happens when fire a muzzle loader?

If a hang fire happens when firing a muzzle loader, keep the gun pointed in a safe direction for at least 30 seconds in case the round ignites late. After waiting, carefully remove the round and inspect it for any signs of malfunction before safely disposing of it.


How much does a 50 cal bullet drop in a mile if shot level?

A .50 magnum has a muzzle velocity of about 420 meters per second (1480 feet per second). The time for a .50 caliber bullet to travel one mile at a constant speed of 1400feet per second is around four seconds. After four seconds, the bullet will have dropped around 256 feet. In reality, the bullet is slowed down due to air resistance, and takes longer to travel one mile (thus it drops further). Also note that in theory, the caliber of the bullet does not determine how far it drops after traveling one mile. The muzzle velocity is the key parameter in determining this.


How high in the vertical direction can a 9mm bullet travel?

A 9mm bullet can typically travel up to 1.5 miles in the vertical direction when fired at an angle of 45 degrees. However, this distance can vary depending on factors such as the specific type of bullet, the firearm used, and environmental conditions.


How fast does a bullet go fired from a 12 gauge shot gun?

Depends on the specific loading, but muzzle velocity is ABOUT 1000 to 1100 Feet per second.


Can DNA be wiped off a gun?

Yes, but it is extremely difficult. DNA gets trapped inside the gun, particularly around the trigger, magazine and muzzle, as well as other internal parts such as springs. When a gun is fired and the bullet exits the muzzle, air gets sucked into the weapon. So any debris, hydrocarbons, sand or pollen in the air will be sucked into the gun, which can be analysed to give forensic investigators a rough area of where the gun was used. A gun fired close to the victim will also result in the victims DNA, in the form of microscopic blood spots, being sucked into the gun. You're better off just obeying the law.

Is a muzzle loader gun a centerfire gun?

Muzzle loading guns must be loaded in parts though the end of the barrel. The method of igniting the gunpowder in a muzzle loader is different than modern guns in that it uses a primer cap or pan instead of hitting primer inside of a bullet shell. Muzzle loaders are neither center fire nor rim fire.


What is muzzle loader?

A 'muzzle loader' is any firearm (or cannon) which does not have a breech mechanism and which is 'charged' (loaded with powder and shot) from the muzzle end of the barrel.


Can you use a rifle scope on a muzzle-loader?

Yes you can. Most of the modern in-line muzzle loaders are set up for mounting a rifle scope. However, a muzzle loader will still have a relatively slow bullet, and a very high arc when fired at long range. Your ability to accurately estimate range and hold over will be important.


How do you load a Traditions 50 cal bolt action mussel loader?

Your question answers itself, "muzzle loader". You load it from the muzzle. Actually, that's incorrect. They use the term "muzzle loader" improperly. It's a bolt action black powder rifle. The powder is pre-pressed into slugs that you load into the chamber, along with wadding and a bullet. I would guess you could load it down the muzzle, but it's faster and easier to buy the slugs and load that way.


What is a magnum bullet?

Strictly speaking, it would be a magnum CARTRIDGE- bullet is the part of the cartridge that comes out of the muzzle. In champagne and wine, a magnum is a larger thna normal bottle.
