khmer6 Report post Posted July 30, 2015 BH209 is definitely the wonder powder. It is a bit different just like T7 is. The volumetric and weight charges don't all line up, so be sure to double check if its hotter than what you normally shoot. There are some breech plugs specially designed for BH209 as well. Bullets seem like a lot of them are all rebranded one way or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted July 30, 2015 Verify via CVA website that your Optima's breech plug is rated for BH. My older CVA is not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khmer6 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 I must of missed it that you had a cva optima. They make a breech plug designed for bh209 to help ensure burn. 30 bucks. You can try with the plug you have now and see if the results warrant spending money you might not need. On a side note. I've heard cci primers don't foul as bad as winchester and federal? Any truth to that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
