Made it out today with my Armi Sports CS Richmond for her maiden voyage. I loaded with 50 gr of 777, and a .577 Minnie ball. I was shooting at 50 yards and was surprised how well the rifle shot. I only shot six rounds but managed to keep four of the six in the black and the other two were on the #8 ring. Point of impact was about two inches above point of aim, but right on line. I think the 50 gr was on the low end as one round looked like it went in the target a little off center. The rest had nice sharp holes. Next time out I am going to try 60 gr 777. I had one flyer as I need to get used to the slight delay in ignition. I need a little advise on cleaning intervals. I got three shots off and on the fourth had a FTF. Had to take out the nipple clean it and use a pipe cleaner on the flash hole. Then I had to pretty much do that on every shot afterwards. I was using CCI four winged caps and RWS Musket caps. The RWS seamed a little hotter but had the same effect. One of the guys at the range said he generally brings six nipples with him and changes them out every couple of shots. What do you guys do?
