Default Vari-Flame and TC Triumph problems

Last yr I was shooting BlackMag3 and still getting a crud ring (using kleanbore primers and TC super glide sabots), so I ordered the Vari-flame conversion to try and eliminate the crud ring..

I also picked up a 1,000 Winchester AND CCI small rifle primers (long story short - wanted CCI's couldnt find them at a gunshow and I panicked and got the winchesters THEN found the CCI's)..

SO - today I am out today sighting in my ML and this is what I found

1) CCI Small Rifle primers do not fit the vari-flame 'carrier'

2) The vari-flame 'carrier' is too long to allow the Triumph action to close and lock.. So in actuality #1 is irrelevent..

3) Even the MMP 3petal EZload sabots were tight in my gun..

The good news is i picked up some of the Remington SST primers and they work well..

Also my bore sighting ability sucks.. I was 8" high and 8" to the right @ 50 yrds- BUT getting pretty good groups.. I am now 2" high and about 1" to the left at 50 yds.. Im happy for now

any suggestions on how to get the the vari-flame to work? OR anyone want to buy it?
