No argument from me...the main point is that the bullet must be tight and provide resistance to the ignition. My Knights both work well with saboted bullets and get cranky with bore size lead bullets when using BH209.

The manufacturer of BH209 does not recommend "conical" bullets but does say they work in some guns. Based on my experience (admittedly limited to 4 different Knight rifles), the first thing I would suspect regarding the OP's problem is loose bullet fit.

I also think that there are some rifles, such as TC Omegas, that are more forgiving of this due to their breechplug design. If you have a rifle that works with Powerbelts and BH209, it is a keeper!
