Your gun is a bolt action using a 209 primer, you must use a shotshell 209 and cannot (should not) use any muzzleloading primers. There should be no head space between the hammer and primer. It is set up like all my Traditions Lightning Bolts (earlier made guns) that have bolt actions and when I close the bolt it covers the primer totally and the hammer kocks back in the bolt and when it goes off that hammer is tightly against that primer. All my 209 breech plugs have a really narrow flash channel that may be an issue for this pwder. I think it would work but you need to pay attention to the flash hole maintenance and you may need to change your breech plugs often with this powder if you shoot a lot. I have not shot it in my older guns as it works well with Pyrodex and I do not see the need to spend more.
