Just gettin back from a trip back east visitin the docs.. After Mr 16 got all fired up at me I gave a bit of time and tried contacting him..to no avail. very argumentative at times but i did like some of his posts. Everybody has a lot to offer on HC...
Adam ..You are very correct about ignition systems. Flinters are not near as reliable as percussion.. I had a well loaded T-C Hawken loaded for over a year once Shot just fine when I unloaded her before deer season next. Was in my little bathroom in my shop the whole time. I doubt a flinter woulda done that. But I wouldn't have kept it loaded. Speaking of caplocks..I was at one of my reloading suppliers and amazingly he had 2 full pallets and a bit more of percussion caps..New stock too. I didn't know they were still being used like that..Thunk the 209s have kinda misplaced 'em. They were CCIs though..probably the best of the bunch..I liked RWS too. I got a thousand of them not long ago in a box of stuff at a tool auction. Gave 'em to a guy who shoots a front stuffer double shotgun. He shoots a round of skeet with it from time to time and does very well
