I have an MGM smokeless rated barrel in an Encore, FYI.

My load is 92.0 BH 209 with a Fed 215M primer. I see a lot of you guys shooting around 88 grains. I'd like to do a little load work, and try a couple new loads. I thought I'd check with you guys and see if y'all see any problems.

I'd like to try 86gr, 88gr, and 90gr of BH209, with a [FED 210M] primer. Would/should there be a problem with using this primer? Thanks ahead of time.
 
What does MGM recommend for the max load of BH209 from that barrel?

I'm shooting a Remington 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader and a hefty charge of BH209, all lit by a F215GMM primer.

Personally, I would be cautious using the F210 primer. BH209 is hard to ignite, and in my opinion, needs the F215 primer.
