[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4981397, member: 15365"] I would wager over 95% of the 15+ bottles of BH209 ive shot were using a Win209 and i never had a single FTF. It all depends in the quality of the breech plug and how well its maintained. If it belches blowby into your action that certainly wont make it better. The vast majority of the time topics like this pop up AND they were using a good plug, it was either poor user cleaning habits or using MZL 209 primers. If you think you are getting the flash channel clean with solvents and a pipe cleaner.....You probably are not even close to clean. All you did was make a heat sink out of solvent soaked carbon. Western covers this in quite a bit of detail on the Blackhorn209 website although they dont really touch on primer head space. If the primer seals well in the plug then all the energy must be going towards the powder. It has nowhere else it can go. Ive shot quite a few conicals i can load with little more than finger pressure. Not a single FTF. So i scratch my head wondering how someone loading a tighter fitting sabot has a FTF. Fired over 30 shots in a row without any kind of cleaning. Not a single FTF. Are you swabbing between shots and contaminating the plug or powder? I have never needed to clean at all while shooting BH209 but there is a solvent mix that does work ok for some competition level guys and it dries faster. [/QUOTE]
