Hi Sabotloader

I would say I lightly greased the threads before I left for the range. I have used Blackhorn 209 for the last year and grease seem to be...well...a waste of grease. The only reason I would stray from Blackhorn 209 on occasion is ignition in very cold weather. Last year I was ML hunting in the UP of Michigan and I had about a 1/2 second of hangtime. Granted...I loaded my Knight up two days earlier, it still scared me a little. Thats when I started looking at other breech plugs and powder combinations. I'm interested in a breech plug designed by Dave that is on this site.

I do not like using that Knight plastic primer holder. I'm get blow back. For the last couple weeks I have been using the non plastic breech plug with great results...but I'm unsure on how the smaller flash hole will effect powder ignition in cold weather. When I experienced the slight hang time I was using the CCI M primer. kl
