Default RE: Knight Wolverine 209 Conversion Kit

Same gun as I got. For years, I have been preaching to people that if you have a misfire, its a maintence issue. I bragged that I never had a misfire even at the range. Well, in the swamps of Blackwater, in Cambridge, MD, last year, I had my first misfire in years on a nice Sika Deer. So this year I converted. It only took me one misfire to change. After converting my Wolverine, she doesn' t shoot as well as before. Tried several bullets/powder combos. Best accuracy I can get is 3.5" at 100 yards with 95gr of pyrodex with 240gr XTP' s. With caps I consistently got 2" or better at 100 yards with 2-50gr of pyrodex pellets and 250gr Barnes expanders. I figure that loss of accuracy is worth the extra confidencs on the gun going boom. If I get more time, I plan to try different 209 pimers. Ones I use now is Winchester.
