I'll never understand why people go through so much effort to shoot BH209. My knight, my hawken, and my accura all shoot triple seven without a hiccup, without machining anyting. I know that it is somewhat dirtier (not nearly as much as it is made out to be..) and the occasional crud ring does suck (kleanbore primers take care of that), but I don't have to worry about having a pop.......BANG when I'm hunting. BH209 has even been rusting barrels! Maybe next year I'll try drilling out my plug and everything, but this year I'm sticking with what works.
Its not a fuss, its actually just as simple as installing a cci 209m primer
BH209 will rust/corrode if left for a LONG period of time in a humid place, thats why Don recommended that i... We. Run an oiled patch down before putting it away dirty.
Ive been using regular cci's in the Hunterbolt as it seems to be a touch bit more accurate in that rifle with blackhorn.
But enough of the pissing match. I offered my simple solution so whether or not anyone wants to try it, thats all up to you. I will keep on using factory plugs or plugs with a .035 flash hole and keep using ol reliable cci 209m primers.
