I emailed CCI some days ago about their new inline MZL 209 primers and the tech told me the primer blowby that i am getting is most likely because of the loose fit inside of the breech plug.
Seeing how it was early and i was bored and wanted to fondle my Accura, i took it all apart and oiled up the trigger mech and then found some molly lube. I got wide eyed and an evil grin crossed my face and off i went to spray down the Accura's hammer/sear :lol: Smoooooooooth! Probably wasnt the great idea to use the dry molly because now the trigger is roughly around 1.5lbs and smooth as glass.
Alright, getting back on topic about the CCI's loose fit in the BP and the blowby, i went and use some 1/2" wide Teflon tape and cut a section 1 1/2" long and then cut it right down the center, enough wrap for 2 primers. I wrapped each primer up tightly and used Sabotloaders idea of going a little over the end so that when it goes off, the tape will blow back into the "threads" and seal off the blowby. Probably wont do a thing for me but hell, why not try it just to see?
Any danger in doing this? I was mainly worried about the pressure building up and having the primer fly back into the frame on my Accura. The Primers are really snug now and require my primer removal tool to get them back out.
I found some thinner sabots to use with the .451 ( i think) XTP's and ive upped my charge to 120gr Pyrodex RS and want to see how it does. Im not to worry about the group though, i want to get out of the house and do some shooting and just mess around with things to try out.
