Recommended Muzzleloader primers?

[Joint Venture 14]

Hi all,

After hunting with the bow and shotgun for 30 plus years, I decided to get into the Muzzleloader game this year.

I purchased a CVA Accura Mountain Rifle and took it to the range this past Sunday.

I loaded with 2 White Hots, a 270 grain PowerBelt, and Winchester 209 primers.

The gun shot well, but 2 of the 25 primers used resulted in misfires.  I googled and it appears these primers have somewhat a history of misfires.

What do you use and recommend if I was to switch?

Thanks so much!  Good luck this season.

Bill

Winchesters are low brisance primers. Use CCI or Federal

I use CCI shotgun primers.   Never had a misfire

English flints and 4f powder.  LOL!
