tjj & lemoyne, are you both shooting it out of PH and Endeavors that have the "E-Z TIP EXTRACTOR" that causes the 209 breech plug to have the slot in the side of it? The reason I am asking that Blackhorn 209 does not recommend using it in any gun with a breech plug where the 209 primer is not fully enclosed. The 209 primer is not fully enclosed in a Pro Hunter or Endeavor with the "E-Z TIP EXTRACTOR" breech plug. http://www.blackhorn209.com/files/pdf/brochure.pdf then scroll down to ignition. I really want to try Blackhorn out but got nervouse when I read this. Hope y'all can tell me no problem.

No Problem, I've actually got a pair of these rifles with the breech plug design that you are describing. Not even a hiccup. The photo you are reffering to, is not a good representation of the PH breechplug. When a primer is inserted in yours, it is encapsulated all the way around. Except where the extractor sets. Many folks take the extractor off because of problems with them, and are still shooting BH with no problems.

I just got my PH right before Thanksgiving and have been shooting BH through it. This past Christmas day the temp outside was around 20 with 25 mph winds, the gun had been loaded since the Friday night before and it fired perfectly killed a deer at a 150 yards. I have had no problems with mine at all. No hiccups or hangfires of any kind.
