Opening Muzzleloader report 10/13, I set out with Omega for the 3rd season, Winchester 777 primer, 777 pellets 150gr and a TC 250 shockwave....
Sunrise cracked with 2 fat does at 20 yards, I pulled the hammer back set my micro dot on the shoulder and squeezed... click nothing... Pulled the hammer and again and a 2nd time...click. Deer snorted and gave me the tail.
I have never had a 209 fail in my shot shell reloading nor in muzzleloader. I took the Win 777 primer out and replaced it with a Federal 209. Aprox 2 hrs later a big red fox came into my field.
I dusted him at 125 yards.
Sat evening I loaded 50 of the 777 primer into shot hulls and fired them one more FAILED TO FIRE, that's a 4% FTF rate and totally unacceptable. They are headed to the garbage!
I'll take the crud ring to here boom!
