Yes.

They do reduce the crud fouling in the only ML I have that exhibits one-- a Contender G2.

Re: Cheap Cure For Crud Ring Disease

I don't really get much of a crud ring while shooting with ed 209A's. I use 90 gr. of FF 777 loose powder. The place I buy most of my muzzleloading stuff for, is one of the biggest gun dealers in america(over 3800 guns in stock)Next time I'm there I'll see if they have those 209-4 primers. May have to give 'em a try.

Re: Cheap Cure For Crud Ring Disease

I still don't get the crud ring people are talking about confused.gif In my Encore, I am using the triple seven pellets, and Winchester w-209 primers. I have the original breach plug that came with the Encore. The only thing I can think of is using windex

to swab out the barrel every 2-3 shots ! Knock on wood, I guess LOL

Wish I could say that too_pointer. I shoot 2, 50 grain T7 pellets, swabbing between every shot. I get such a crud ring that If I don't work the cleaning jag, gently at the crud ring, the jag gets stuck and I have to pull the breech plug, and take the jag off of the cleaning rod. I'm not exagerating in the least. I have even tried different jags. I swab between shots with a saturated windex patch, and 2 dry patches. I haven't even tried to load a second shot without swabbing.

I have been looking for these primers for a while, and no one locally has them or can get them. This is the first place online that I have seen, that doesn't charge a $20 haz-mat fee. I just ordered 1000 of them.

Plastic fouling left behind will eventually turn your rifled barrel into a smoothbore.

It takes many many many shots to reach that point. I have shot over a hundred shots without using a brush in my MLs and still have rifling. I can even maintain decent groups. I swab between shots and keep powder fouling consistant from shot to shot.

Re: Cheap Cure For Crud Ring Disease

Hey, I believe you guys on the crud ring, I wish I could help out. I have heard the "newer" breach plugs on TC"s are a problem. Mine is older and is designed different. Tedicast, which plug do you have, older or newer ? I hope the new primers will help you out. This crud ring seems to be a major problem for alot of people frown.gif

There is just no basis for that at all. Where you get this level of crazy info is beyond me.

Your wild speculation about my hunting activities are completely wrong. I've not been on a "complimentary" hunt in my life. Thank you for your interest, if that is what it is / was. Do you hunt at all?

500 shots through a 10ML-II with no cleaning and no swabbing.

No misfires. Breechplug was full of carbon, barrel was dirty-- but no plastic. Five Hoppe's patches to turn it into a mirror. Filthy, yes-- but a LONG way from your fantasy 'smoothbore' land.

As for your other personal comments, you might want to start hunting and shooting rather than just "Hmmm" about it.

Why would a cooler primer reduce the crud ring?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know that they will reduce the crud ring, but it is worth a try. I have read that the 209-4 primers, being a cooler primer give more consistent ignition, leading to better accuracy. That is the reason I have been wanting to ty them.

Triple 7 burns gluconic acid, a sugar.

The crunchy fouling build up is around the breechplug, not consistently down the bore. A 209 primer provides much more flame than necessary for ignition of Triple 7, and turn it into a hard carmel-like tar due to this excessive flame-- in some breech plugs.

Lighter volumes of primer gas do not over-carmelize the gluconic acid the way a full power 209 can.
