Hello Everyone,
When complete with a new breechplug that will utilize a bare 209 primer, and Blackhorn 209 Powder, I look forward finally to start testing my Knight Disc Extreme rifle in .50 caliber. When modified,it will have a muzzlebrake. I have been a serious long range shooter since the 1960's and realize that there are several references on this site as to overpowder wads. There are apparently a lot of types of these wads. Which wads would you recommend with 209 powder? How would you use them properly with a muzzlebrake, since they will be dropping a distance before they engage the barrel? I will want them to be not cocked in the barrel but at a 90 degree angle to the bore so the bullet will then be seated properly over this wad.
Thanks, in advance
WW
