They said it’s 50/50 chance any Disc extreme or LRH will fire it! The people at BH 209 were very kind and explained that the 209 primer spacing is too loose in those model Knights and are sending me some O-rings that they had made for CVA’s that might work. They are sending them at no charge and talked to me for longer than they needed to’! So I was impressed by them. The same guy at Knight told me a few weeks ago to back out the breech plug a quarter turn and both guns would fire the BH209! Then while I’m at the range after several attempts with both guns and not one shot fired but many primers! He said yeah it’s a 50/50 chance! I orders Leigh defense breech plugs for both guns and will try one more time before going back to Triple 7! Couldn’t believe after reading so many comments and stores about Disc extremes and LRH shootings BH209 so great and my luck I couldn’t get either one haha! Well live and learn! New isn’t always better I guess! BH209 guy said they have powder that’s 13 years old that fires every time so at least I can use these cans I have with a future gun! He also said without hesitation T/C shoots the powder the best! thanks for your reply’s guys
I do not what is going on for you, unless you are using FPJ ignition. I have shot old DISC's - New DISC's, LRH's - Super DISC's - even DISC Originals and have never had any problems shooting BH-209. But.... I am shooting bare primer breech plugs with plain old W209 primers. One of the most important things is to keep the 'flash channel' immediately under the nose of the primer cleaned and free of carbon buildup.

Also you should know when he says TC guns shoot them best he is referring to the older TC rifles with the short breech plug. Do not think they even use the breech plug any longer.
