While shooting last weekend, a friend was having problems with his knight disc rifle studderfiring when he used tripple seven pelletts and 209 primers. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

I've not seen it, but did read (once) that putting a felt wad on top of pellets seems to give quicker ignition. The fellow writing was concerned about sometimes detecting a discernable longer "burn" than at other times. Ramming a felt wad on top of the pellets "seemed" to aleviate the problem. This sounds like a similar situation, where the pellets are not burning rapidly enough, or are not carrying the flamefront to the next pellet as fast as should be.

This is all conjecture, so take it as worth the paper it is printed on.
