The new Huntsman uses 209 primers only. With the new release of lower power 209 primers like the Tripple Seven 209 and the Remington Cleanbore primers some of the problem has been solved or at least improved. Most inlines will now use the 209 due to the problems igniting Tripple Seven pellets using the #11 caps. Tripple Seven pellets seem to be the fast seller at this time. Personally I do not use pellets but apparently a lot of people do and the marketing people are listening to the market.

i don't use triple 7 at this time so far i am using app loose powder and like it but i wasn't sure about the # 11 caps cause they say 209 is a bit of an overkill and i am just using the winchester primers i am not sure how the remington kleanborne primers work or if they are any better or not thanks for the help

Reports I have been reading say the Remington Kleenbore are an improvement and the new Tripple Seven 209 by Winchester are even better. Walmart is carrying the Winchester Tripple Seven primers in most areas. Walmart prices are a little high as they pass on the Hazmat fees in the primer price. Some regular gun stores have the primers a little cheaper.
