"During ML season, just about any ignition system is allowed, EXCEPT, one can't use the little 25 ACP cartridge and BP. Only 209, percussion cap, or flints allowed. "
Where are you reading this? I know guys who use the 25 ACP conversion primers, and know of no problems using them??
209's are expressly allowed, so I take this to mean that other than flint, or percussion cap, 209's are also legal. Seems to me, if everything is legal, they should just say so. For example, "All types of ignition are legal for ML season". I asked this very question on the website. I got no answer and even if I did, I would make sure I carried a copy of the response if it were in favor of LRP, SRP, andpistol primersfor ignition.
The rules are certainlyneither precisenor are theydevoid of ambiguity. As for no one having problems with ACP ignition. I hunted 4 days of the ML season last year and never saw a game warden. I would say if your buddies' ignition has been checked in the field by game wardens during the ML season, then I am most likely "reading too much" into the regs and what "they mean". Have their ACP ignition systems beeninspected and verifiedby game warden(s)?
