At the BH site they recommend only CCI 209m or federal 209a. . Problem is I can't find either within 200 miles of me. Will anything else work ok?

EDIT- I think I have this sorted out, looks like I'll try the Winchester 209 or the cci non m 209, both of which can be found locally
Thanks for all the help here.
 
In my CVA rifles with the BH209 breech plug, I have no ignition problems with any primers.
 
Winchester primers are pretty hot, I've been using them in my Knight Disc Extreme and T/C Omega with 100% success with BH209.
 
If you get a good seal with a Win209 they are just fine. In a CVA you can also use Euro primers but they wont fit USA made rifles all the time.

These 3 Euro brands are also very close to a Win209 in power but they are larger OD than USA made primers. They are shorter though than a USA made primer. Its quite possible these will work better with a o-ring in the primer pocket because they are short.
