Tagged out with a heart shot!
Had a fun adventure down to some beautiful private land in Hocking County for yesterday & today! I had one last tag to fill & this is our late 3 day muzzleloader season. Had a 1st ever chit-fizzle muzzleloader miss-fire yesterday evening & all I can figure is I must've had a little oil residue in the barrel but I got it on video so that was cool. You can see the 2 pyrodex pellets tumble out of the barrel fizzling away. Then I filled my last tag this morning, before the snow storm blew in and did a recovery video. The wind was blowing so hard it blew my blind over when I was gutting the deer! LOL! Did a slide show & loaded 2 videos:

Re: Tagged out with a heart shot!
I've never had a chit-fizzle before with my in-line... I was worried that my pyrodex was old but I fired another 209 primer then reloaded & fired another shot that was fine & obviously killed a deer with it this morning!

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Cool videos. Congrats on the deer!
I am wondering if that could be caused by not getting the bullet seated on the pellets. Consistent seating make a big difference in muzzleloaders but I have never seen anything quite that before! Otherwise, yea there must have been a drop of oil or moisture in there, but then I would think that would just be a misfire or a low powered pop. Lucky it wasn't dry you could have started a forest fire

Re: Tagged out with a heart shot!
I think with the power belts, the skirt of the bullet scrapes whatever residue that's in the barrel & pushes it down around the pellets when you load it. I had it tamped down really good but likely had some Rem Oil left in the barrel & the chamber where the primer seats in. I had loaded it in the morning & didn't shoot till evening so any oil may have been moistening the pellets.

Yea good point. I thought I have experienced about every malfunction possible with muzzleloaders having used them a lot over 20 years but never saw fizzing pellets like your vid before. Looks like you shot sparklers at the deer

Not to derail the thread but I have kinda wanted to shoot a deer on video with a tracer bullet. You can find them in a variety of calibers, but I don't know of any tracer bullets for muzzleloaders....surprised that hasn't caught on in the deer hunting video industry. Maybe you are on to something Bigfoot!

LOL!!! I did a clean slow motion video edit cut off short of my foul comment so I could share it with Smokey Bear on Twitter & FB. It's pretty cool to watch it in slow motion!

I think hunting with tracers is illegal in most states. It also seems like it would be pretty cruel to shoot an animal with a tracer round. They burn extremely hot and it seems like having one lodged in the animal could be about like having a blow torch going on inside you while your dying. That would really suck. Plus it would cauterize the wound.
You cannot invade mainland America. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

Re: Tagged out with a heart shot!
Yeah, I've never had any interest to use tracer bullets for any reason. Cool to watch military videos where they're using them to shoot at terrorists but that's about it for me.
