[QUOTE="CHRIS WILSON, post: 5717809, member: 2609"] The issue with using the loose powder/BH209 plug with pellets, is that the pellets may not seat all the way back against the flash hole due to the way the breech plug is cupped out. This can create a void/space between the pellet and the flash hole that the flame has to jump in order to ignite the pellet. That can potentially cause ignition problems. I've known folks who have used pellets with the loose powder plug and never had an issue. I know others who have experienced the occasional misfire or hang fire with the combo. [/QUOTE]
