Thanks

I would like to know where to find a conversion from #11 caps to 209 primers. I have a lot of 209's and would like to use them up , ,, or just have the conversion if I ever run out of #11 caps. You never know, there were no primers at all on the shelf at a pretty good size gun store, however, they still had a few thousand # 11 caps though. Supplies are getting thin out there.

You DONT remove the vent liner from the plug to use BH209. Not sure where you got that idea?

Yikes! Yeah do not shoot it without the ventliner, please. Also they are meant for loose powder, not pellets, though they may work fine with them. Either way dont use without the liner.

Glad you came back to me on my reply about removing the vent liner a fella told me to do it but I don't have any intentions to do so rifle shoots BH or pellets just fine, when I see him I'll tell him that he was wrong.

If you calculated the area of the hole in the vent liner, and then compare it to the area of the hole you would have if you left out the vent liner screw, you could get some idea of the pressure increase on the bolt.

I do not need a calculator to tell you not to do it.

With a little drilling and tapping you might be able to replace the vent screw with a carbide bushing in the replacement breech plugs from Badger or Arrowhead.

Below is the Blueprint for an adjustable 209 breech plug for the Remington 700ML rifle. It is a pain for me to make one on my equipment, although it works very well. I wish someone else would mass produce them, and I could buy them rather than making them.
