I did try the Remington Kleanbore once to see if it would fire. It did fire, but had a slight delay. I had already fired 25 rounds, so the BP needed cleaning. Maybe with a clean BP they would have fired better. Not something i'd try hunting though.
If the BP flash channel is clean just about any 209 primer will ignite BH in an Omega. Remington STS primers will certainly work.
I do not use a lot of Remington primers but I thought the Kleanbore was the ML primer. I do not know that for sure!
