You will see far more good reviews of the Optima V2 than bad. Add a better plug and BH209 is a very good powder to use. ATM the Lehigh CVA BH209 plug and a Fed209A primer is looking like one of the best ways to go. Its $26 plus shipping at Lehigh Defense and they ship fast. Just got a plug from them this week for my Knight. Might need to look around for the Optima. This time of year they sell out quick.
