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
Well I just took a spare NFPJ plug and drilled out the flash hole to .038 And will take it out tomorrow for testing in the 45cal Disc Elite
It worked well enough the way it was, but I wanna see what will happen with BH209, and three different primers. Namely Winchester, Rem STS, and CCI standard primers. Checking for blow back changes, and any "pregnant" primers. Got some 120gV loads measured out in tubes ready to go!!!
Before modification, the Winchester's ejected the best, with almost no signs of pressure or bulging. And were the tightest fit with closed bolt.
