I've got one with my Omega.  It works very well.  I don't notice any gas bleeding past the cartridge, but it is easily removed with my fingers, unlike 209's in my previous rifle.

I am using the Variflame Primer Adapter which use a machined brass 209 housing that is loaded with small rifle primer and are reusable, these work with the stock TC breech plug. I had been having a problem with my firing pin hanging up on occassion, these seem to have ended the problem. I purchased them from E. Arthur Brown the kit comes with 10 reusable adapters and the needed tools. Besides seeming to be cleaner the small rifle primers are cheaper than the 209's.

Adapters will not work with Blackhorn 209.
All the modified breechplugs are used to stop the crud rings formed by 777 and to limit blowby that clogs the firing pin bushing.
Blackhorn 209 does not make crud rings and is more consistent with higher velocity than 777.  Blowby is fixed with a simple o-ring under the primer.
I have been a lost child most of my life. 
Since being born in a log cabin that I built with my own hands, it has been an uphill struggle all the way.  Being so devastatingly handsome, intelligent,  rich-beyond-belief, and humble have all worked together to shape me and my destinies.

As long as you aren't using BH209, they work great.  I much prefer to 209s.
