Anybody try the BH209 in a 700ml with the 209 conversion kit yet? Will it work?

I have two of the Remington 700'swith the "Cabelas" 209 conversion and I am certain they will work - I did shoot some BH-209 in a White and the Remington is essentially the same.

If you a havea Remington conversion - you might get quite a bit of blow back, but with the Cabelas conversion - that should be limited - but I would bet it will spit your primer out of the nipple and possibly re-cocked the bolt. If you are using a weather shield this will all be held to a minimum.

I have that same question in my mind. I just purchased a 700ML black/blue w/less than 100 shots through it this weekend. Shipped today. It'd very intersting to know because I love the new BH powder and would love to be able to use it. Mine has the 209 conversion but I don't know if it's the Remington or Cabela's version. It'll be next week before I can test it but if you get a chance before then let me/us know!

I have the primer coming apart with just 100gr. of T7. My 209 is the Cabelas.

I shoot 110 grains of T7-2f and i do also get the primer spearating from the battery cup on occasion. It does not always happen. I expect the same thing to happen with BH-209 but more often because BH-209 burns longer than than T7. I would think it would be important to have a weather shield installed - "just in case" to keep everything inside.

I have made two different types of weather shield - one from a simple 12 gauge shot shell and the other from a copper pipe fitting. The copper one needles to say is the stronger and miht be what you wan to use while shooting BH-209.

Here is a picure of both although the copper one shown if for a A&H.
