It essentially makes it like a disc extreme, and actually exactly like the new bighorns come unless you request the western kit. I still use #11's as I don't really see any advantage of the 209 personally. |
209 primers are easier to handle, and more waterproof than #11 cap, but with a capper the #11 caps aren't bad to deal with.
Nothing is set in stone with me, because i'm not sure what Tom is sending me. It should show up tomorrow, so we'll see. |
Either way they work fine Muley. You'll like that gun I'm sure. Its 6 of one half dozen of the other (to me). I guess some folks feel the 209 setup might give some advantages like you said, but overall its probably personal preference. Out of all the guys I know that shoot knight plunger guns, its probably 50/50 #11 to 209.

Compared to a sidelock. I would think an #11 cap will be pretty reliable in a plunger gun.

Those LR primer conversion modules look interesting but i wonder if Knight quit offering them for a reason. In a sealed breach they would be fine but in a plunger gun they might pop off if the charge gets too high. They look like they would be heavier than a 209FPJ with a primer and possibly more dangerous if they flew off.
