[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1786525, member: 33046"] Different propellants ignite and burn differently. BH209 is a progressive burning propellant and requires a full strength 209 primer for consistent ignition. What may ignite BH209 at 80°, may not ignite it consistently, or at all at say 20° or -10°. Take regular blackpowder. You can ignite it with nothing more than the slightest spark. Other propellants such as Pyrodex and T7 will ignite with less than a 209 primer, yet it takes more spark than blackpowder. All three mentioned have different burn rates. BH209 works best with pressure and/or high heat and takes much more than the other substitutes. The 209 primers made for T7 and Pyrodex, won't ignite BH209 consistently. Percussion caps are even worse. Read the FAQ's here about BH209: [URL]http://www.blackhorn209.com/faqs/[/URL] I can assure you, the top inline muzzleloader shooters use 209 primers in competitions and those who may not, use the Gen2 system with LRMP's. You won't see other ignition systems (primers) being used in something so serious. Is hunting any less serious? [/QUOTE]
