racks-n-beards& everyone else,

Just a pet peeve - One of the reason's mentioned for making the switch was handling - the 25 shell is easier to handle than the 209 - why are we even handling a 209?

If the reasoning is a more reliable ignition I could kind of understand that also , but the variety of heat ranged 209's available doesn't in my mind make that a reasonable answer.

If the reasoning is a cleaner ignition area and less blowback - I CAN understand that - that is why I tried the 32 switch in the Austin & Halleck.

If you make the switch for better accuracy that certainly is a valid reason.

If you make the switch because it is more convienent that again is certainly a valid reason.

Sorry for the soap box - but the handling reason bugs me, because in my mind there is no reason to handle primers or caps.
