[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 868923, member: 33046"] First... if you're shooting a CVA, you'll most likely have to order the proper breech plug to ignite it properly. EVEN THEN..... with the supposed "proper plug" shooters have issues. If you're shooting a T/C or Traditions you won't have to do anything other than put it down the bore. I've shot BH since I could get my hands on it and won't switch back. You need to read and understand the BH209 web site, which I would always suggest. Western gives the volume to weight conversion of .7 which is the number that every shooter I know uses. Myself I shoot by weight. I shoot 75grs WEIGHT which equals 107.1grs volume. I've had outstanding accuracy, consistent out to 200yds with 2" groups with Barnes 250gr TMZ's. Remember.......... 120grs V of BH209 is a max load. 84grs by weight. If you want to shoot the equilivent of 100grs volume this is the math.......... [B]100grs V *.7 = 70grs W of BH209[/B]. If you want to shoot 120grs Volume...... [B]120*.7 =84grs W (max charge)[/B] [/QUOTE]
