I have had a couple of inline traditions in the past and they where fine rifles so I am not going to bash them..It could be something I am doing wrong,so I will take suggestions and work on it.I tried cci inline muzzleloading primers the first time and federal 209a shotgun primers the second time.
Try some alcohol patches or even run some boiling water through the bore that will strip all the lubricants out of the bore...
Then find the mildest 209 primers you can find like T7 primers and I think Winchester makes another ML Primers. But if you make the switch to BH-209 you will probably have to use hotter primers...
