The Triumph is an Awesome ML. I just wont trust it with BH209 and a factory plug. The last thing i need is a delay.
As far as the rod, i was hoping it would sale for $59.99. I think when it's in sporting good stores it will. But still at $75.00 bucks it's way better then anything i have seen on the market.
The Knight Disc Elite was one of the most accurate Muzzleloaders ever made right out of the box. The new Mountaineer i believe will follow right in it's foot steps with some improvements. That's hard to believe but true.
There are a few of us pushing Knight to make some barrel twist changes and offer a 45cal Mountaineer. It all takes time and i havent heard them say no yet.
I have a Triumph. Zero issues with BH209 no modification to the breech plug. TC Encore .45 barrel I have in classifieds never misfired with just under 100 rounds before I decided to sell. Normal BP maintenance was taken with these plugs and no problems whatsoever. I had a hangfire at the range with the Lehigh plug at the range once in my 54-120. I blame it on not letting the barrel cool down while shooting on a hot day. I see you like Knight and that is fine. They were not first to make a BP 100% reliable in my eyes. We all have opinions and you know what opinions are like............
GM54-120,
I forgot my .45 Omega plug had been opened to .035 by the previous owner. I have a new plug ready to go in it unmodified.
