WELCOME to the hang out. Great place to stop and check things out. Allot of info here, free for the asking. I'm sure if you sit tight you'll get some opinions or answers to your question :!: :!: :!: .

I'm not familiar with that model but if your pimer pocket is totally enclosed then I would suggest pushing harder on your ram rod when seating your sabot/bullet against the powder. I had the same thing happen when I first started using BH209. Now I use FIRM pressure when I seat my bullet. I have never had a hangfire since then.

Welcome to the forum.

Your Remington 700 is an open breech design rifle I believe. I am guessing that it is not really made to shoot BlackHorn 209. There is a pamphlet BlackHorn has, or go to their website, they will show you what rifles can and CAN NOT shoot their powder. I am guessing yours is one of them.

Also are you really compressing that powder with a tight fitting sabot? I would get some Triple Seven or Pyrodex RS and try that powder in your rifle.

I have shot a Remington on 4/5 range trips... but there are some things you have to do. I would still recommend shooting T7 in the Rem but if I wanted to I would not hesitate - if you have the right BP and nipple.
