Just for comparison, it hit 81 deg here in VA today. Will be 40 deg cooler by Saturday with a chance of snow.
If you have a factory plug that is still un-altered it might be fun to see if those Federal MZ primers will ignite the BH209 in temps like these.
At dawn this morning it was -16° at the house. Loaded rifle, and primer were outside all night. Load was same as OP. 100g Blackhorn, the land riding Speer, and the vegetable wad. The rifle, and primer rode in the back in the snow from house to the mountain.
This trip, in the rifle was a standard OEM Omega breech plug. Temperature on the mountain was zero degrees.
It felt like trigger finger might stick to the trigger; it didn't Ignition was instantaneous.

I live in Vermont. We have only 12 more weeks ‘til black fly season. Or summer.Am happy the ground hog saw it's shadow, cuz now there is only six more weeks of winter.
You have to wait that long? At our cabin as soon as there are patches of bare ground the black demons are out and about. And it just gets worse as the rest of the snow goes away.I live in Vermont. We have only 12 more weeks ‘til black fly season. Or summer.
Not as Hot as the Fed 209A, the Biggest Difference is they are Available at Walmart & Ron proved they will work with BH 209 in Extreme Cold with an Omega OEM Breech PlugWhat is the difference between the 209mz and the other Federal 209 primers?
