Cecil and Marlene at PR Bullet were a pleasure to deal with. Hope this thing works better than the primer carriers. If you seen my primer carriers after my last outing with the Black Mag'3 and the 460gr No Excuses conicals, you would understand.

I would like to issue a WARNING to anyone using that combination with 80 grains by volume and the Winchester 209's, it blew the primers apart, split and swelled them so bad that they can not be reused.
I think the reason for this is the BM'3 is a progressive burning powder and builds pressure thus creating more blowback pressure after the primer charge has finished its job. With 777 I have never had any problem with this due to its fast burning and has already spanked the bullet out your bore before the primer is done releasing pressure. I do like the BM'3 with light saboted bullets though and did not have this problem at all.
I also have come to the conclusion that BM'3 is not as accurate as 777 with the heavy conicals. The reason I believe is due to its slower burn rate and a conical needs a fast ignition to upset it enough to obturate into the rifling for best accuracy. The 777 does this nicely.
My digital camera took a dump or I would post some pics for you guys, the primer carriers took a serious beating due to the 209's splitting and opening up.
Does anyone know if the .25ACP primer carrier is legal in Colorado during the Muzzleloader Elk Season? I need to find that out.
I also ordered the new Williams Fire-Sights, WGRS peep sight and the new black ramrod from H&R/NEF for my Huntsman. The Customer Service was much better than in the past, although I felt rushed, I was able to place my whole order after holding a couple minutes.
