The problem with the two hot primers is that they put out such a volume of gas and flash in an instant - it does create a clogging problem if the diameters of the channels are not correct.
Western Powders - will only recommend the Federal 209A and/or the CCI-209M primers. These are the two hottest primerson the market. I personally believe that BH can be reliably ignited with a lesser primer. But, you will not move Western of their recommendation.
Thats also been my experience...atleast with the 45 Accura and 50 Apex. I prefer the standard Win209 primer because it appears to leave less fouling from the primer to flash hole.
I havent tried Fed209A but the CCI209M was noticeable from the first shot. I thought it was just a slightly different size causing the problem but Sabotloaders theory sounds right to me.
I do use a torch pic set though for cleaning, so my flash holes might get slightly enlarged faster. This might be why my results are slightly different too. I use them very carefully but.....
Who knows CVA might find a simple fix for those with problems. Could it be simple? A cone shaped flash channel or just a better transition from the channel to the hole?
As said, Western/Ramshot STRONGLY recommends CCI209M and Fed 209A in my email about 45 cal data. Its probably a good idea for hunting in extremely bad weather but who knows. :?:
And yes the Accura is the first rifle ive owned that i shot a sub 2" 200yard group with ONCE. It was on a sled but still...the barrel and trigger are hard to beat for the money. It will shot better than i can. Im sure plenty of Knights and TCs will too.
You could always get a ultra light 54 cal from GM for $400 and have an awesome sub 150 yard rifle.
If you like pain. :lol: :lol:
