Omega with Barnes?

no problem... the idea behind the improved accuracy is when using a higher pressure 209 primer, the primer ignition could possibly move the pellets/powder charge forward slightly just prior to powder ignition, thus affecting accuracy. I'm not sure how much of issue this actually is, but when hunting closer ranges I don't think it would be enough to affect the POI enough to worry about. But maybe if we were hunting at say 200-250 yard ranges, like elk for instance, it may affect accuracy somewhat. I generally hunt 100yards and less, so this doesn't really seem to be a problem for me. But like I was saying, I was getting much tighter groups at 100 yards when I was experimenting with the Vari-Flame adapters.

Gm54-120 - Cool.... Thanks for the info. Will definately check this out.
IMO the best feature of the new conversion is you should be able to use any large primer that is .210 diameter. There is a good selection from milder match grade primers to the hotter magnum variety.
My only concern is LR primers are hard and head spacing a SS adapter might be more difficult to reduce blowby.
