1uglydude Report post Posted January 12, 2023 I switched out the breech plug in my CVA Optima to the Blackhorn 209 style. I have a friend who is going to use it for HAM javelina season, but I’m going to have him use 777 pellets because my supply of BH209 is too valuable to use on pigs. Long story short, I have lost my original breech plug. Has anyone tried shooting pellets with the BH209 style plug in the gun? I’m wondering if I would have ignition issues if I tried it given the big recess to allow for loose powder to fill in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to avoid spending a $1 X 20-30 times zeroing it with a powder supply that’s dang near impossible to replace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted January 12, 2023 I would get a new breech plug or some Triple7. The pellets will sit on a big gap with the 209 plug. No bueno! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
