Hey guys, just joined the forum because I am doing some research into building a smokeless muzzleloader. I am an experienced machinist and handloader and will probably be converting a 45-70 CVA scout by boring and threading it for a breach plug. I've seen a few people mention that they are using 209 primers with their conversions. For you guys that have them, is your setup using a flame channel and flash hole in the breech plug, or direct ignition? How much pressure will a 209 primer handle? I am also thinking about making a breech plug to take a cut down piece of 327 federal brass and modify the existing extractor to pull it out. Any ideas or pictures would be appreciated.
