Good find! I recently found CCI # 11 caps on sale at Scheel's for $3.99 each and jumped on several hundred of them. At $2.50 a tin, I would have picked up at least $20 worth.

I own a Thompson Center Renegade .50 caliber rifle and had the same issue. My theory is that I was pushing unburned powder and gunk into the flash hole when I patched the bore after every shot.

It's a tough job and I for one greatly appreciate the work the US Marshalls do. God Speed to John Perry.
I have had good results with Winchester 540 and Accurate Arms # 5 powders. I use 180g RNFP lead bullets. I load them to run 850 FPS. They shoot really well out of my Glock 22.
