Replace the 209X50 Priming System...
It is pretty much common knowledge that the 209X50 primer has potential for disrupting accuracy in muzzle loading rifles. The ignition blast upsets your loads and the amount of fouling just adds to the already existing problems that muzzle loader fouling presents to those who seek accuracy. The solution is to use small rifle primers... Less primer blast and far cleaner ignition AND, its easy to convert your rifle with the following methods: Encore 25 ACP Breech Plugs - The original conversion method seats a small rifle primer in a 25 ACP cartridge case. These cases act as primer holders that fit a specially modified breech plug. The conversion is simple... just replace your breech plug with the 25 ACP Breech Plug (not for Pro Hunter). Besides improved accuracy, a major advantage of this system is that the brass cases seal the ignition so well, you don't get the usual smoky, cruddy fouling around the primer and breech. The 25 ACP primer holders are completely re-usable. To seat and decap primers in the 25 ACP cases, you will need cartridge loading tools or at least a 1/16th punch to decap used primers and a hand held priming tool to seat new primers. |
