Well I like to be sure so I ran my own tests before I switched.
After finding the way the Triumph shot best, IE tight sabot CCI mag primer and leaning on the ramrod with half my 200 pounds one time after the bullet was seated.
Test #1 was a trip to the freezer over night. result excellent accuracy no problem firing.
Test two, load as for hunting seal the 209 by waxing around the sides and the barrel with a piece of saran wrap and a rubber band [ I use these methods because it is easy to fix up the stuff to carry in the field to reseal after reloading] took it out and watered it good with the garden hose and let it set under the sprinkler for half an hour.
Result, instant fire, righton POI.
I have read where some people have had problems,I suspect a lot of these fall into two categories, the ones that have marginal set up like some of the Knights and either not loaded or not sealed the way we would. Lee

I use a beeswax candle to put a drop on the side of a 209 then use the tip of my little finger holding the ends of the 209 with the other hand to spread the wax on around the 209. When put into a fairly tight fitting seat this seals all moisture out, its a bit of a nuisance but since the grease around the breach plug and the end of the barrel are sealed it is the only area where moisture could penetrate.
