The main reson I've always gone by is two fold , first is what you said , and then if you forgot to make sure the barrel was empty of all unburned powder it'll do that . But I use only blackpowder not pyrodex or pellets and mine are not inlines . I'm a re-enactor ( buckskinner ) so my smokepoles are flintlocks and the old style #11 caplocks with spitpatched roundballs . I don't shoot much anymore haven't for years . I still have a couple of flintlocks and a old Navy arms ships captain rifle repro's and some flintlock and cap type pistol repro's . Still have a horn full of powder around here somewhere . I used to start my campfire with my muzzleloaders , Just put a piece of homemade charcloth over a couple grains of XXX and cover with a dry patch and fire straight up into the air , catch the char as it comes back down with some dry tinder in your hand and wave it around till you get a flame , put it in a previously built teepee of very small twigs and fan it till the flame speads a little and then slowly add larger material . Only needed on wet days when you forgot your flint and steel ( or those real modern magnesium thingys ) or your matches got wet ...Randy
