I am using BlackHorn 209 powder in my T/C 209x50 ML. Currently experimenting with loads at all levels.
I gave away my 777 209 primers and was given some CCI 209M primers which are apparently "magnum" shotshell primers. I also picked up some CCI 209 (non-magnum) primers which I haven't used yet.
Any opinions as to the relative performance of these two primers for use in my application?
Any reason to use one over the other?
Anyone tried both yet?
As a note: Even when using the magnum primer I was getting velocities BELOW what I expected. 250gr sabots were running at about 2,000 ft/sec with 120gr V charge of BH. I was expecting velocities closer to 2,200 ft/sec. I believe the WEIGHED charge of BH was 82.4gr.
