I just bought some of the new Remington primers from Walmart. I tried them in my MDM Quicshooter .50 cal break open and I wasnt pleased at all. I saw fire shoot out from the where the barrel meets the breechface. They remove easy from the nipple but I couldnt believe how much of the fire came out of the breach area. The breechface , nipple, and back of barrel were covered in black after one shot, more than what should have been. I tried the Winchester 209 for muzzleloaders and didnt have that problem. The winchester primers started sticking after awhile but the remington didnt. I looked at the holes on the bottom of the primers and the one on the winchester is smaller than the one on the remington. The remington primers have to be smaller in diameter to fit so loosely. I havent shot any loads yet and i fear there may be some more blowback. Has anyone else seen this problem. Maybe my nipple is not sized right, but i dont think so.
There's a difference between primer residue and blowback - which results from powder ignition. Sounds like yourrifle disperses blowback from powder ignition. My Omega does not.If all that exterior stuff on your rifleis only 209residue, that is non-corrosive & will not create rust if not cleaned after range work.
My sidelocks seesparks shooting all over the place. That's a result of the best #11 caps on the market ... ie.... RWS Dynamit Nobels (red tin). My sidelocks never leave home without them.[X(]
