Second try primer fires and then bam the BH209 ignited but I felt the delay. Im
hoping my fellow hunters on here can help me out because I read message after message on here and everyone loves their BH209 in the same guns I can’t get to fire the stuff! Thank you in advance any help would be greatly appreciated ~ Freddy
How Ironic, i am gonna start counting these BH209 Failure threads
, I JUST got done saying on another Forum that their will be MORE N MORE of these BH209 Threads Pop up as more Affordable BH209 Compatible Guns Continually become available, Hangfires, Fail to Fires, Partial Fires, etc. it is INEVITABLY gonna happen. BH209 requires X amount of Compression in order to ignite. It is VERY FINICKY Powder, BH209 has very specific requirements, if they are not met, it will Fail.
Are you sure your Breechplug is BH Compatible? Are you seating your Bullets HARD on the Powder? Are you using an Over powder Wad? If so, what Type of Wad? I have a Friend in Tennessee that Had BH209 FAIL MISERABLY using Wool Felt Wads, when he switched to Vegetable Fiber the Problem went away. With Wool Felt Wads he Had Some Complete Fail to Fires, Hangfires, and Partial Fires, He Told me that there was Hardly any felt Recoil? The Bullet didn’t make it to the Target (BH209 will Start to ignite, and will actually Go out if there is not enough Compression)
