[QUOTE="Rubberduck270, post: 3325227, member: 9199"] The scale is for both safety and repeatability. If your charges are varying in weights, you'll chase vertical strings all day. With a muzzle loader, consistency is key. Everything has to be the same from shot to shot. Charge weight, loading pressure, barrel temp and barrel condition (how dirty it is) all need to stay the same on each shot. A ML (muzzle loader) primer is a primer designed for use with black powder, Pyrodex and 777. They aren't as hot as a 209 primer made to be used in shotgun shells even though they are the same size. CCI 209 magnum or Federal 209A primers are the hottest made. For Blackhorn 209 you need the hotter fire for good ignition, so don't use ML 209 primers. Find some actual 209 shot shell primers and use them. [/QUOTE]
