TNHagies

In the limited amount of BH shooting that I have done - I did find the tightness of the load to be import in the performance of the powder. I could get it to go off relativly easy (no hang fires) with the Cheddite primers I was using but the velocity was way down from what I thought it should be or what I was getting with T7. When I loaded a .458/300 grain bullet in an HPH-12 + 100 grains of BHand put that down the barrel of the White (a lot tighter but easily manageable) - I got ignition and velocity - course I also pushed the primmer out of the breech plug and blew the primer into bits and pieces.
