SPOT ON!

When I owned the Knight Mountaineer in the Video above, I bought 4 or 500 Winchester 209s for use in it. I found that they Varied Slightly all throughout the Same Boxes, I ended up measuring and Sorting ALL of my Primers. I couldn’t use The Largest ones as they would Get “Sticky” to Extract.

As Sabotloader Said, If Knight were to try and Correct this, EVERYONE would need to Use the Same Brand of Primer, And even then you would likely end up needing to Sort Through them for Best Fit

Nature of the Beast, so to speak. If you take the Time to Follow the Above, It DEFINITELY Works. I got ZERO Blowback, I shot as many as 20-22 Shots on a Few Different Outings, and i use Swiss Real Blackpowder to Boot.
