new muzzleloader hunter here, really enjoying it so far and hoping to get a whitetail with it soon. Dialed my CVA accura v2 in with the copper Bor locks and 90 gr of BH.
After my hunt the other day, I noticed after sunset the unspent primer had a small dent in it. I got to messing around with it and realized the firing pin is stuck. No problem, I knew this could happen and after firing about 25 rounds I hadn’t cleaned it yet.
The problem came when I had a really hard time getting the bushing to unscrew. After soaking it in BH solvent for 10 minutes and with all my might, got it to turn. Took everything out and even the firing pin was super stuck in there from all the gunk, requiring pliers to get it out.
My question is, is this scenario typical from not cleaning it until now? Was there some factory grease I didn’t remove? Or am I having primer blow back issues?
