As mentioned in a previous thread, I'm new to MLing. I recently picked up a TC Impact and when putting accessories together, bought some Cheddite 209 cx2000 primers as that was available at the local store along with some BH209 powder.
When I put one of the primers in the primer pocket, I noticed the primer does not seat flush in the pocket but extends out, the reason I'm asking about this is the only ML I've shot, I saw the primer flush in the pocket. Is this normal or is the Cheddite too long to use?
Thanks

They don't sit flush in the Impact.

Yes, it's normal for the primer to not be flush on the Impact breech plug.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I assume it won't sit flush because you need a way to get ahold of the fired primer and pull it out of the breech plug.

try 100 grain per the BH 209 measure tube with the black crush rib sabots with hornady xtp .45 pistol bullets - 300 grain. Deadly combo out of the impact.

100 gr of 209 is a stiff load. I do well with 80 gr. My Impact takes heavy loads better than my Encore.

My understanding is 100 in their tube might weigh mush less. don't know, never weighed it. I started at 100 cause the loads on their website were 80 - 120, figured I'd start in the middle and it worked like a charm. Blackhorn load dataNow with the flintlock I use 80 grains of fff.

I go by volume. I will start weighing to try to get better groups.
