I would like to see the full context of his statement for two main reasons. BH209 was developed in the Savage MLII and two of the Savage "book" powders are very easy to ignite with 225-300gr bullets and just a Win209 primer.

The flash channel in a MLII plug is pretty long and has plenty of volume even for mag primers. Its not my favorite design but i really cant see how it would need modification (excluding liners) for book powders or BH209. Keep it clean and the vents within spec and it will go bang nearly every time.
