Need another breech plug... that certainly is up to you. The regular Knight FPJ breech plug wil lcertainly ignite BH wheather it be Orange or Red. The question is howm many time will it do it before the flash channel fills with carbon and makes ignition difficult.

If you are only an occasional shooter and clean out the flash channel every ten shots or so you should be just fine.

If you want to clean it up and also get great ignition then you would have to change to a DISC Extreme bolt conversion kit and get a Lehigh breech plug conversion. These two items greatly enhance the ability of the Original DISC.

I believe you would find it far cleaner... and much more reliable over an extended range session.

I shot blackhorn 209 out of my original disc with the orange primers. It worked fine, but I thought I wore out my breech plug because the face of it was eaten off and the fire channel plugged. So I threw it away. It will shoot blackhorn but make sure to keep an eye on your fire channel and use only new orange primer jackets or the front face of the fire channel gets really chewed up.
