Been going up into the hills every morning to shoot my rifles. It has been around 10* to 15* in the morning when we wake. Have been shooting 105g BH209, lit by W209 primer, pushing a 44 caliber 300g xtp, in a smooth Harvester sabot.

In the Accura, i have been using the middle plug in this picture; it has around 50 rounds on it now.



Usually i shoot each rifle 5 to 10 times each morning. So far the first shot in the morning has lit instantaneously, after the rifles sit in the cab on the truck loaded, over night. Below is a picture of some fired primers from the Accura.



One can see there is little or no blow back. After about 10-15 shots i get after the flame channel with a 5/32" drill.

Next i plan to leave the rifles sit in the cabin of the truck loaded for a few days and nights, and then see what happens when the trigger is pulled. Have to quit shooting every day, and look after some chores around here.
