[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 3094448, member: 37460"] I ran the normal breech plug it came with and was not able to come close to the velocity I'm getting with both the Arrowhead and Hankins designs. I ended up selecting the Arrowhead system over the Hankins just because it's easier to change the module and it's safer to load. It's not only the primer and the modules it also the design of the breech plug and the flash hole. Better burn rate and I was able to run more powder. I run 85-90 weighted grains of BH209 in my 26" CVA Acura and get 2300-2350 FPS running a 285 Powerbelt. I am able to easily shoot out to 350 yards accurately and with plenty of power for hunting deer size game, assuming conditions are good for that length of shot. For me and hunting out West it's a big help. I wasn't able to get close to that velocity prior to switching. Killed a nice Coues buck 2 years at 307 yards ago and it just crushed the buck with complete pass through. [/QUOTE]
