I voted for the CVA QRBP as that is what I have now in the BH variety that is. I do have experience with a Encore plug, never had a ignition problem but plenty of blowback. The CVA not until I wiped the bore, once in the middle of shooting, then got some residue in the breech area.

I personally like the QR plugs, easier is better if it works.

Yes, it's a good BP, and pretty much trouble free if kept clean. With the popularity of BH 209 now it's a shame the BP isn't included with the gun. The BP that comes in CVA's is made for pellets. Why should pellet users get a free ride?

Because CVA has teamed up with IMR to promote WhiteHots.

Yes, of course they want to sell us their stuff. What was I thinking?

Maybe BPI can buy out Western too. Then the world will be perfect.

Along these lines is the fact that CVA totally abandoned all those folks that own V1 rifles with the hex breech plug. They are unable to purchase a plug that is reliable igniting Blackhorn. What about them?

Just now, i came home from mailing a hex plug that was modified to be reliable for burning Blackhorn. After years have passed, folks are still seeking to make their V1 rifles, Blackhorn compatible.

Tom, that would change my vote.

Well Muley that would be difficult - BPI doesn't even own BPI - there is a parent company above them that owns BPI.

It was a joke.

Ya! but with BPI's parent company - they could probably do it ifn they wanted to..

You guys are gonna change the subject and I'm gonna end up getting banned.....
