RE: primers
I just started using the small pistol primers with the Variflame adapters in my Omega and they work great. (using pellets) First of all, what type / make of ML are you shooting? I'm sure someone can help you. But that is probably one of the first things they will ask... alot of people think the 209's are a bit too much power and increase fouling and could POSSIBLY affect accuracy by displacing the bullet from the charge during ignition. I guess it really depends what you have. I used the #11 primers for several years and only had a misfire when I was using old ones. Also they might not ignite pellets very well. The new hotter rememington #11 primers always worked flawlessly for me. (new tin every year) When I carry them in the field I put them in a film case. Sometimes put a little pouch of silica gel in the containerto avoid condensation. Are you using new, dry primers?
