They said that the powder needed a hotter flash to ignite. I think the BP had something to do with problem also.

BH209 can be a finicky powder. I had to replace my CVA BP in my Apex to remain reliable. I do like the powder and will keep using it though.

Since going over to the other hotter primers, I have not had one problem.
