I'm not having any ignition problems with the standard Win 209 primers and either Pyrodex RS or Black MZ powders. But I may give the T7 primers a shot.
I'm not quite sure if its true or not but I read a couple years ago that standard 209 primers are too hot which causes the bullet to make a minor jump a little in the bore before the main charge ignites.
The primers for MLs aren't supposed to be as hot, eliminating this jump.

I really agree with you on this one - I really prefer the Remington 209-4 primer - wish they still made them...
The odd thing!!! with a Lehigh plug they ignite BH just fine also... all depends on how well your breech plug breathes... or passes gas!
During the Idaho ML season I am required to use caps - I use a MAG #11 cap or a 1075+ German cap and do not need to run a damp or spit patch at all.... But, I do not have any petroleum oils in the barrel and no Teflon!

Looks like this post took a turn to another topic!! I was just curious about the primers. I use std Win 209s without any issues. I do get some blowback but that doesn't bother me. I always hunt on a clean barrel and never have any ignition issues.

I got my Accura (goose neck) Nitride several months ago and found it to really be a joy to shoot and clean... the breach plug was one of the main reasons because it was so easy to take out and put back in.
I tried several different Power Belts with the same two pellet IMR White Hot load at 50, 100, and 200 yards... I shot 30 times or so that day and only cleaned the breach plug once,,, not because I had any ignition problems,,, but because I wanted to make sure the groups would be as accurate as possible.
Sure there was a little blow by, but not a lot considering the number of shots. All in all, and I have owned quite a few muzzleloaders over the years, I think the CVA Accura is one of the best I have ever shot.
