I'm looking for some advice. I have an Encore .50 cal, which uses 209 primers. I also have some 777 (I think) - it's the round stuff, with the hole in it and you use three of them. I've had this gun for years and have never even fired it...
A few months ago, I read an article somewhere (Field & Stream maybe?), that recommended a different type of primer for these types of powder, that supposed causes less fouling. Did anyone happen to see that article? Anyone know what primer they were recommending?
Is there a primer, other than a #209, that is better to use?
Thanks for any help. (I have no experience with BP, yet.)
