I am not surprised Western would make a reply like that. After all, when all rifles can shoot his powder, he will sell more powder. I don't own any CVA rifles, but the way I see it, the R&D for the guns lags behind powders. After all, the breechplugs for years were made to shoot real black and pyrodex, and everyone was happy. Then along comes 777 and the breechplugs were not designed for this powder in all cases. For one thing the Omega develops the infamous "crud ring" with the breechplug design they have in that gun. Three years ago, consumers were demanding breechplugs that would solve this problem. So manufacturers starting coming up with breechplugs that gave LESS fire to the powder to reduce this crud ring which of course is the exact opposite of what you need for BH 209. So I suspect that most gun manufacters (including Knight) are working to develop breeches that will handle BH better. Time will tell.
