5/32 flame channel, .031 vent-liner flash hole. It's the best way, like it or not.

No problems whatsoever with the breech plug as of yet.i have read some had problems with removing them after a shooting session. easy fix would be to break the seal and just reseal it. hell even if u had to wipe plug off real quick and reapply some grease, not a big deal. there is 0 blow by with this breech plug and the primer area of the rifle is always clean as a whistle.whats not to like?

No, not really. I cant do anything about the head space. That's why the Lehigh conversions are not all the same in everyones muzzleloader.

For Example, i had to modify a current Lehigh conversion for my Knight LRH. It was horribly dirty. After an adjustment to the primer shelf it's 95% clean.

I'm hoping the new Knight Rifles will be consistent from start to finish on all Muzzleloaders.

The Triumph is a great ML. I also think it's designed better then the Pro-Hunter.

I've got a Wolf that's a few years old...not the new BP. If I'm reading this correctly, BH209 should work well in it, and use CCI 209M?

Shot T7 pellets for a long time, and looking to move away from it.

BH will not work 'perfectly' in any CVA, without modifying the breech plug.

works perfectly in one of our factory wolfs.

I need to get that rifle back from my bro in law for some testing. Mainly BH209 with W209 primers and the factory plug.

If it would work, that would be the primer to use. Or even the Federal 209A. But BH209 is not recommended in any CVA ML.

BH209 works fine in a cva muzzle loader.

Including the sidelocks too if you get the 209 conversion.
