They created the formula from scratch to be more efficient. It burns much cleaner than the typical 209 shotshell primers and helps to maintain consistent velocities. This new type of primer is easier to seat and more sensitive than ever before. It is compatible with automatic and progressive loading equipment. Here is a brief description of each of the different types of 209 primers.
Federal ™ 209 Shotshell Primers are non-corrosive, delivering fast ignition, increased velocity, and accuracy. 209A is ideal for trap shooting. Federal is constantly testing the new formulation of this primer to ensure its effectiveness in different field loads. They are available in storage boxes containing a hundred or five thousand primers. The primers are available in 100, 5000, and 1000 count containers.
CCI makes two types of 209 shotshell primers – 209M for target loads and 209M for field loads. The latter is designed to burn a heavier propellant and is ideal for waterfowl load development. These new primers are non-mercurial and are non-corrosive. They are designed for clean ignition.It is recommended for Ammo Depot MA 209 Shotshell Primers use in muzzleloaders. Those who have tried both types will find it easy to determine which works best for them.
While standard 209 primers are a good choice for muzzle loading, there is one major drawback. The new percussion caps contain more priming compound than the percussion caps, which causes a problem called crud rings. Inorganic Black Powder residue mixes with the inorganic primer compound and forms a ring near the breech. If you are using Blackhorn203 or any other Black Powder substitute, be sure to check your ammunition for any traces of crud rings.
While the 209 pistol is a cheap choice, it will cost you some money to purchase. The 209 shotgun primers are not that powerful, but they are still cheap and can be found in any gun store. The difference between these two types of primers is a matter of preference. Try the Winchester 777 for muzzleloading. It’s the same as a standard muzzleloader, but the difference is not as drastic.
Modern 209 shotshell primers are non-corrosive. The older versions of these primers were made with mercury fulminate, which corroded brass. These primers are a good option for muzzleloaders. They also make the shotshells look cleaner and work more efficiently. There are also several different types of pellets. They may not be corrosive. There are advantages and disadvantages to using either type.
A standard 209 shotshell primer is more powerful than muzzleloading primers. Those designed for muzzleloading rifles have a milder nature. They don’t force the powder charge to the front of the bullet. This helps the muzzleloaders maintain consistent velocities and reduce the formation of crud rings. This type of cartridge also has a milder impact on the bullets. The Triple Se7en209 breech plug is a better option than standard W209
