Tried BH209 in my Knifght disc extreme (FPJ) and had disappointing results, variation in velocity, poor accuracy. From 1400 down to 600 fps (blooper, hang fire) etc. CCI 209M mag primers and Win 209. (@ 100 gr (volume) loads that shoot 1800 fps+ with T7) Thought it might be lighter bullets 200-225 in harvester & MMP sabots. But the loads shoot fine with T7.. (refuse to use pyrodex in anything . Pretty new to this modern stuff though have been shooting & building traditional guns for close to 50yrs and still shoot a couple matches a month.
I would like to use BH209, but reliability is first. I did put a Lehigh BP in it. But the bore end looks about the same as the orig (insert soldered in place).
Tried to use a tight bullet sabot combo and swabbed between shots with my BP ML mixture of alcohol & castor oil. Got way more crud out than I do with T7.
Haven't shot the new bare primer setup yet (with BH), but any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
