[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4805182, member: 15365"] Possibly, lots of guys use the O-ring in the primer pocket to help seal the primer. The problem as i see it is Traditions uses an alloy frame with no steel firing pin bushing. The frame wears in that area. Ive seen it. Making a primer tight against the alloy frame just speeds up that wear and tear. The factory o-ring on the other end shouldn't be a major factor other than more fouling in the threads...You can probably buy new o-rings for the powder side cheap at most good hardware stores. CVAs on the other hand have a steel bushing in the alloy frame. The primer hardly phases it. Some of the newest Traditions have a bushing/plate for the firing pin but im not sure what its made of. The Traditions plug is certainly not ideal for BH209 but the majority of posters on MML seem to have no issues igniting it.. A small mod to the plug should make it much better. Ron on Modern Muzzle Loader forum was doing the mod for about $20 or so. He did many older and OEM CVA plugs. [/QUOTE]
