BH and the CVA Kodiak Mag

[MUP]

Regular 209 primers don't work. I'm gonna pick up some Fed 209A primers today, if they're in stock, and try those as recommended by BH. I may drill out my BP to 1/16" if the primers don't remedy the ignition problem. This is all I have read online so far as to why I'm not having consistent ignition. If this fails, I'm going back to Pyro.

drilling it out to 1/16" is super dangerous and most likely is going to hurt you.

That's the reports I've been reading online anyway. I seriously thought I would incrementally drill it out by about .010" at a time from stock, but only if the magnum primers don't remedy the problem first.

A #70 drill bit is Ok, but 1/16" is huge and not safe at all.

Thanks for the info FG. Hopefully, the mag primers will do the trick tho.

I had 2 of the Kodiak Mags. and neither one would ignite the BH powder no matter what primer I tried. Sometimes they would shoot sometimes they would only pop the cap.

Crap, didn't want to hear that! :cry:

If all goes as planned, I'll be heading out to shoot some more this afternoon, only this time will have some CCI 209 Mag primers behind the BH209. I sure hope this remedies the ignition issue. I'll make a dern breech plug before I'll buy one. :grin:
