If you can afford to shoot it... BH is a great powder - yes it has a learning curve but once you have it - you got it.

You can not always go by what FG/MD54 might indicate - he is so hung up on the CVA - it is often hard for him to see.

I would tell you if you read... badbowbender2 explanation of the primers and the amount of gas they expend - using the hottest primer is not always the answer with BH - if your BP is not equipped to handle the volume of gas from a primer it will hang fire.

Not only does the 'flash hole' cause this problem so does the 'Flash channel' right under the primer.

If you want to cure your problem and shoot BH succesfully them I would suggest that you PM ronlaughlin or even myself - either one of us will gladly modify your current BP so that it will reliably shoot BH. The CVA breech plug is so soft it is easily worked with a drill press and a tap and dye.

Ron has often posted pictures of his modification and has completed this modification for several people. I have done the same on many different BP's. Getting a Lehigh vent liner in your BP will make a world of difference in how well BH works. Shoot I can even ignite it with an old Remington 410 shotgun primer...

Here are some pics of my modification of a Knight BP...
