grouse,sabotloader;i've learned alot from both of you and i believe your knowledge in muzzleloading far exceeds mine.
i'm sure any part on any muzzleloader can be improved upon but the statement above seems a little "over the top"to me ....karl
Karl, I still think it is the best NFPJ breech plug Knight has (T7 & BH) and it certainly is the best available for the Vision.
How each of us rates a product is always a toss-up - We can not even agree on a the best bullet, the best powder, or even the best gun... so agreeing on a BP is not much different...
Actually I think Gordy's statement to you is a little misleading also...
I got an email from "Gordy Edwards" at Knight Rifles - and he assured me that the breech plug - part # 900046 - for bare primers, is made specifically to solve any problems with shooting BH 209.
I am sure at the time Gordy wrote this he and I believed it to be a very valid statement, especially after his frustrations with the KP1 and attempts to make that one BH compatible. Also I think it was a far more compatible plug than any NFPJ for the DICS system. If I could have used in a DISC - I would have changed to it a long time ago.
The real problem, in my mind, there is a learning curve attached to shooting BH - when you master the curve - shooting it becomes easy.
Remember back in the day... Underclocked invented the term 'crud ring' for the hard residue T7 leaves in some barrels.... then BH came out with their statement to us was it is "non-corrosive" and does not create a "crud ring". since those early days we have found out that it is midly 'corrosive' and the 'crud ring' has moved from the bore to the breech plug.
So not much of anything is a 100%
If it was we would all be shooting CVA's...
