[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4906105, member: 15365"] Triple7 loose will be much closer. Heavier loads and heavier bullets will give BH209 the speed edge over loose Triple7. So if shooting a 250gr with 100gr of either the speed is pretty close. Change bullets to a 300gr and BH209 starts pulling away. Change to a max 120gr load with a 250gr and its also beating T7. Primer choice is dependent on the rifle but they need to be regular shotshell primers. Dont use 209 muzzleloader primers with BH209. I can use nothing but a Win209 in my Knights and it never fails. A Fed209a works just as well if it fits well and if it does not leak like a belching blast furnace. For example in CVA, the NSI aka Nobel 209/686 primers work just fine. They are as long as a Win209 but larger OD so they fit the breach plug better. The Fed209a is about .003 shorter and a CCI is nearly .005 shorter. Both might leak much more. All that extra energy is wasted if you get a lot of blowby. All you get is a filthy breach and more carbon in your flash channel. Ideally you want your primer to get about a .003 crush when you ONLY close the action on it. Just put a measured primer in and snap the action shut. Measure it again to see if you got any primer crush. DONT FIRE IT. When you have around a .003 primer crush nearly any of them work fine in a good breach plug. If your primers dont crush you can either shim to achieve a good head space or get some burna? o-rings to seal the primer pocket. The o-rings will last 20 shots or so and they are cheap. McMasters sells the correct o-rings for the primer pocket in CVAs and other BREAK ACTIONS. They wont work right in a bolt gun. [img]https://i.imgur.com/L9A2kuC.png[/img] [/QUOTE]
