oh hes got the 209 conversion for it but thats the dangerous part LOL. Im just trying to keep the guy an eye but u know how it goes, if they dont want to listen then the best way to learn is by doin it.

I read through the whole thread. Randy is sure a piece of work. I would say using the red jackets probably does reduce the risk of injury as opposed to some of the other 209 breech plugs on plunger style inlines. But I am sure the blowback is horrible. I know how hard that can be to clean out of your action from using it with the red jackets in a disc rifle.
It isn't worth arguing with him I'm sure of that.

I have not seen the thread your talking about. The red plastic jacket breech plug in a plunger gun is a huge benefit. It keeps the 209 primer contained in the jacket. A much safer way to use a 209 primer in a plunger gun.

I thought the only reason BH209 was not recommended in those guns was because of ignition????? I also don't believe everything you here from the manufacture. Didn't Western Powders tell someone on this board it was okay to mix powders? On the can it says DO NOT mix powders of any kind, or grade.

I still prefer to do the R&D myself. I do use the manufacture for some guidance.;)

Grouse I think it is more to the fact that in my friend's case he told the guy at Gander that his MK-85 was #11 ignition. Tom.

Oh, that's a shame but I'm not surprised.
