Hi guys, the thing I don't understand about this whole crud ring thing is I find (in my rifles that I will compare now) that the ring is no worse in my Encore using W209 primers than my scout using No11 percussion caps.

I think it is just the nature of T7 and has nothing to do with primers. I use both FFF and FF loose T7 and fouling seems about the same in all rifles no matter what I use for primers.

I do like the powder so much I will keep using it. I will keep using standard reloading primers as well I refuse to pay $3-$6 for a box of stinking primers.
