Hey guys , is a 25 acp conversion worth while or just a bunch of hype?

I really should let MLKeith answer this because it took him two years to convince me, but there is not going back now...

It is clean - it seals well - it can be loaded with your fingers... I know you can load 209's with a capper - but it is clean - even the spent shell is in good shape and cam be re-primed...

Oh! and take a shot drop the breech and let the spent shell slide out into your hand...

if you have an omega you can send the breech plug to precision rifle david white and he will comvert it for 25 bucks a lot cheeper the the canadian 25 acp

WOW,I had no idea. I am going to have to try this, I have been pulling out my hair because I just can't get my Encore 26" bbl to shoot anything under 6" @ 100yds. I had no Idea the pressure released by the 209 primer.

Does anyone know the differences between the 25acp conversion and the veriFlame 209 adapters. I appoligize if this has already been covered somewhere else.

I thought about the 25 ACP for the Sidekick. I can really see it improving the cleanliness of the breech area. I guess I didn't get it because it is not legal in Colorado during regular ML season. At least nothing other than 209, percussion cap, or flint ignition is specifically allowed.

Yeah thats why I was wondering about the VariFlame adapter. Technically I think itwould still be considered a 209 primer. But the 25acp adapter would be perfect for the Indiana deer season.

I really couldn't comment on that, I just wouldn't know. I recommend that you ask your State's Game and Fish to make certain of that.

It seems that you are having a similar problem with your Encore that Big 6x6 was having with an Apex. I may be wrong but I don't think your Encore should be that picky. And if it is, I don't think the solution will be buying the ACP.
