The flash hole was probably partially clogged. Did you fire a primer before you loaded it ?

The flash hole was probably partially clogged. Did you fire a primer before you loaded it ? I usually fire a primer but I had just cleaned the plug and blew it dry with a blow dryer. I feel certain only one of the two powder pellets discharged. I had four nice rack bucks using that area every day and knew I was going to get a shot. I didn't expect one that big to show up. I never had him on camera.

Sounds like your lower pellet got wet (possibly with oil that settled on top of the breech plug) and the top pellet fired
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be
