Also, I saw in another thread that their is an electronic copy of the bighorn manual floating around. Anyone have it handy? Thanks! John --- End quote --- I have the 209 kit that came with mine. I'll let it go cheap. PM me an offer. You would not get the breach plug wrench, but I will let you have this cheap enough that you can get the wrench and still save on the 80.00 factory fee. |

Seems like if it were legal he might as well try the 209's......I thought maybe you knew of a problem with that particular model of rifle and using 209's.......... :dunno: |

I would advise using a moderate charge and a moderate weight bullets when using a 209. I believe the FPJ (red plastic jacket) with a 209 inserted in it to be a little safer. It to can be blown off the post but normally is not near as violent as a bare primer. Either way when using a 209 in any open breech gun - use caution |
| CP:
The 209 kit includes a bunch of red plastic jackets and the tool to press the primers into them and remove the jackets after firing. |
