[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 3093535, member: 73596"] I built a smokeless muzzleloader using Jeff Hankins system. It's awesome. One thing I learned in my research is that the 209 full power shotgun primer actually has more boogie than a LR primer, and when ignited actually displaces the powder charge/bullet slightly, even before the powder itself is ignited. This degrades accuracy, as I'm sure you could imagine. I confirmed this by reading up the ML specific 209 primers. While I thought they would more powerful than their standard shotgun counterpart, it is actually opposite, they are reduced power! [/QUOTE]
