Got my parts from Doc today in the mail. I really am thinking the new 209 breech plug/nipple is or will be better than the original plug. It designed much more conventional, I do need to take UC's suggestion and polish the primer pocket.

It looks like I will doing a late season Moose hunt. Because of the weather and the temperatures that are possible during this season. It is a rifle hunt, but I really want to use a ML. Because of the timing of the hunt I really want to use a 209 ignition. But, I can see as Doc suggest that this system is not as water tight as the #11. Even though the primer will survive water - if enough water were exposed to the breech I might be possible to get water into thecharge. Again I am not all that worried as I can seal the breech system. I really am leaning to using the Ultra Mag.... but it is really is a curse to have what I BELIEVE are five great inline ML's. Decisions.... Decisions.... darn
