Gator Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I am thinking of going back to loose powder, at least trying it. Will a 209 primer be to "hot" to use with loose powder, would I be better off going to either a musket cap or #11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: 209 vs loose powder?? I use a Federal 209A primer, with loose 777 powder. It's workin just fine for me. I believe the 209A is one of the hottest primers there is. You may want to try the caps, or #11 primers instead, but the 209 is working for me.

AJ Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: 209 vs loose powder?? I liked musket caps in my Rem 700 ML. It shoots some very nice groups and the fouling is not near as bad as when I used 209 primers. I don't use 209 primers in any of my typical muzzleloaders. I have not had much success with them. I do use them in my Savage with smokeless though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
