Default RE: 209 Conversion for Traditional Sidelocker ML's?

I've seen the T/C Firestorm 209 conversion at stores. What I'm not sure of is whether that rifle was drilled/tapped differently than all the other sidelocks in order to shoot 209s. I remember looking at the thread line of the conversion & it looked bigger than normal nipple threads. Normal sidelock nipple holes (bottom-side) should never exceed 3/16s. So I really don't see how a 209 prmer conversion can throw more igniter-power in such a small hole-opening vs a hot Splitfire nipple with hot magnum caps.
