Obviously these guys are way more experienced than I with BH209. They've given you some great tips to run with. Good luck on your future hunt.
Oh, and I'm sure you know the Knights DO shoot BH209 quite well also.
Yep it my gut feeling as well when it happened. Mainly cause I kept telling my bro it happen to my gun. I believe it was a moisture issue.
The gun smith thought the fat end of firing pin being worn down(almost looking smashed and shiny) could cause problems. Luckily he had one he gave me for free. Not sure if it make difference but comparing new one and my worn down one , the worn one is shorter.
I knights shoot bh209 well but my gun was a plunger type and didn't want to risk it anymore.
