What size drill bit? Sounds like a clogged up breech plug. My BIL pro hunter did the same thing before he learned that the breech plug flash channel crud needed removed.
I agree The OP said easiest to load that would have me concerned.BH209 requires a firm, solid fit with the sabot/bullet on top of the powder. In you post, #11, you said that they were easy to load. Too easy and sometimes you will get hangfires.
Just asking but....... why are you using gun scrubber spray while shooting??? You may very well be contaminating the system.Well I took out my T/C Encore 50 x 209 to try again. It worked fine with Federal 209s . For about 5 shots. Then I cleaned the flash cnhannel again with Drill bit and Gun Scrubber spray. Worked fine another shot or two. then would work after clean and next shot would fail. I guess I'll have to try the CCI 209m. The 50 cal Hornady Boredriver bullets work great. Easiest to load of any tried.
What condition is your breech plug I have a prohunteer and had to replace my breech plug it was eroded where primer seated and flash channel had became eroded I use Winchester 209 shotgun primers like everyone says muzzleloader primer and BH doesn't work I just use drill bit and torch tip cleaners for breech plug after finished shooting no more problems and clean plug with solventMAybe. But twice, I pulled breech plug, leaving powder and bullet in place(tilted barrel down). I clean plug with drill bit and gun scrubber , let dry and replaced with new primer. BOOM and right on target (using scope). An extra primer without clean did nothing. So seems more primer flame than anything else.
I used 5/64s on channel and 1/16 (smallest I had, but too large for hole to scrape fouling from both sides of small holeWhat size dril bit?
Possible, all were slightly blackened.Me supspects primer fit is loose.
Mine looks more like the top. But is is Knurled so you can remove by hand with no tool.If this "remounted" barrel has the old flat faced style breech plug; is this the issue?

Here are my Pictures. It looks very similar. But mine seems to show a faint H1004 where you have a H. <Mine does not show in picture but could see with lighted magnifying glass.CVA stock B Plug
Notice H stamped on face, I don’t know if all have that
I know my Blackhorn BPs have BH on face
GOT ONE ON ORDER!Wow,

Sure provided a quick, easy, inexpensive fix to your ignition woes Oldog. Way to go Scott.
Oldog if you purchase the breech plug, be sure to try different drills in the clean plug before you shoot it. This will show you the correct drill for removing the hard carbon from the flame channel. It probably is 1/8", but test to be sure
