Black gold is in
Well i have been working out of town and a friend of mine had picked up some BH 209 and since i was working near him i went and picked it up today before i came home. if the weather permits this weekend i will be trying it out in the triumph, with the 300 gr GD/DC bullets and the long black harvester sabots...the 300 gr GD/DC show a lot of promise as a good long range bullet.i am going to hunt the center fire season with the Triumph this year. our M/L seasons here are difficult to draw for and have very limited numbers.should be a hoot Ray

I have shot a lot of those 300 grain speers... they are really accurate and really have a decent BC for a HP bullet. They really do like to be pushed along at a decent velocity.
Hope you get out to shoot... let us know how it goes..

Remember to drill out your flash channel after shooting BH. That stuff really gets hard.
Might try a 1/8" bit in it before you shoot and then after you shoot see if there is a noticeable difference...

Them sabot would be too tight in my Triumph.

Remember i do my homework ..i am well aware of the need for the drill bit and plan to use it on a regular basis. i don't need any ignition problems and since i shoot a Triumph,i don't expect any with proper cleaning methods and STS primers..i appreciate the heads up though as always.. Ray

I believe my next breech plug project will be to decrease the headspace of the Triumph, so that STS will be the primer of choice in my rifle. Currently i am doing the same thing for one of my Omega.

Ron, Builder might be OK, i shoot an even shorter Chedditie primer in my Triumph and really do not experiance much blow back at all in fact very litte. There is a dusting but not much.
This is the breech are in my Triumph after shooting 9 shots of 110 grains of BH and a very short Cheddite primer, it's length averages 0.287"...
This is accomplished by the length of the 'flash channel' in the breech plug. With the 'flash hole' on the end of the Triumph plug the volume capacity of the 'flash channel' is increased to the point where there is very little blow pressure felt on the nose of the primer - there-by reducing blow back

Ron i have to tell you i figured they would be in mine also. i thumbed one in the QLA and used a short starter and after that they slid down nicely. the harvester smooth long black sabot petals are not as thick as a MMP- 24.give the short starter a try.. Ray
