BH209 is the only powder that i use. I use it in an Omega, and in an Accura. The W209 is the primer used in both rifles.
I leave my rifles loaded over night in the cab of the truck in all kinda weather. Be it rain or snow or blue skies. Be it 40* during the night, or as low as -19*. The Omega has never failed to fire; it fires with authority. The Accura has suffered one misfire, and one hang fire.
Both rifles have seen several nights of sub-zero temperatures. The Omega is 100% reliable. The Accura isn't perfect; hotter primers may be the answer, or perhaps a more concave face breech plug, or both.
