Old--it sounds like the nipple is plugged up. You don"t get ignition unless you bypass the nipple.
Take the nipple off, clean it good,and try it tomorrow.
You should get ignition of the powder even if you do not have a bullet pressed against the charge.
With a clean barrel, I drop the powder charge down, tamp the side of the barrel with my hand and seat the bullet snug against the powder. I then put a mark on the ram rod so I know I am seated correctly on subsequent shots after the barrel starts to foul up.
Get"er workin for you before you get that 40 yard shot at a big"un. You don"t want to here your gun go "pop" when you get that chance.
It would be nice to get a pic of the one you get "tomorrow".
Good Luck, I am going muzzle loading Friday and Saturday-----Tim
