I've shot plenty of rifle primers. To many down sides.

1- You got to have a press to prime.
2-You got to keep all your brass
3-If you forget them no local gun shop can help you.
4- A big inconvenience for me with no benefits at all according to the Chronagraphs.
5- A big waist of time and money

It certainly helps to keep your brass...



True



O there are benefits other than shown in the Chrono - but I would not consider them big!


Sure can be

I just like safe clean and simple. That's what 209's do for me.

When your fingers are all sausage sized that statement becomes a big untruth!! I'm really looking seriously into one of those platforms simply BECAUSE of the primed shells rather than 209. Hell of a lot easier to handle than an itty bitty primer! Thinking dead seriously about just getting one of those barrels made up for one of my old savage 110's that I rarely shoot anymore. Priming up 10 or 20 of those "holders" from Hankins would take me about 2 minutes. Not a considerable amount of time "wasted" and there are multiple "hand priming" tools out there to do some at the bench if you wanted to shoot more than the amount of "holders" you have.

Currently im having a discussion about using the modules WITH a 209 primer. Aside from easier to handle the module accomplishes one other thing. It supports the primer far better than nearly any breach plug can.

A primer cant bulge if supported correctly. Case in point the NULA which totally encloses a 209 primer. A module would support the 209 primer just as if it were pressed in a shot shell.

Lee offers a shell plate for the little hand primer even for a 410 shell so it can work with 209 or LRMP in a module with 45/70 head dimensions.

Sure its not as simple as dropping a 209 into a breach plug but i find the advantages to be interesting. Now if you can make a plug that supports both LRMP modules AND 209 primer modules, you would have something really unique.

Just got some pics of targets shot with it. I'll switch to N120 once I get it. It's shipping to me Tuesday.

Not bad for 50 yards.

I was told it was 125 yards

Looks like its a great shooter, how much was it to get converted?

Somewhere around 56-58gr of N120 will give roughly the same speed as that 4198 sabot load.
