Jesse, any machinist friends? They might be able too modify the existing plug too upgrade too the new powder. Just need the differences in the channel leading too the smaller hole. The newer version I believe is 1/8”
2021 Muzzleloader Season

- Start date
our weather sounds shity. Freezing rain winter weather advisory tomorrow then switching to rain overnight lingering into early morning. Wet dripping woods Saturday morning.
It took my third shot to hit the bullseye. No adjustments, I'm totally good to go. I took more time for the third shot from 100 yards and I'll tell ya what, I really enjoy shooting this ML ever since I converted it to the 209 ignition system & the Blackhorn Propellant Powder. Very happy with it!
Portable bench that I shot from @100yrds to the coyote target .
Coyote 1/2" 'AR500' Steel Target - the before and after. 1st shot was to the right, 2nd shot was to the left, and finally, the third shot was right on the money that hit the 3" bullseye.
Approximately 3-1/2" 's between all three shots and I shot at the target as if I was shooting while actually hunting from the blind pretty much.
So, I'm thrilled that I didn't have do anything drastic or adjustments to anything at all.
I expect any shot opportunity that may be presented to me on Saturday, will be no more than 75 yards.
Now I am truly ready for Saturday morning muzzy opener!

I'm sad muzzy season is here. It's almost over folks!!!!! if you don't get a tingly feeling thinking of Saturday morning, maybe step back and think why you are hunting. I saw deer tonight in the mile section I'll be in Saturday and go back to the excitement of my youth with the Trudy point buck song playing in my head. I hope to see a one 1 single deer within range Saturday. There could be 50 within this sq mile but hope for one. I don't want to shoot a fawn but of its fat it's going to die. I get giddy for deer or doves or squirrels, it's fucking fun!!!!!! But an animal as big as u, that u can kill with a primitive weapon as efficient as Raven crossbow claims to be!!!! Damnit let the rain stop!!!! Freezer filling time!!!!
Well, I have a little change of plans for tomorrow's hunt. Due to the wind for the first half of the day, and that I intend to watch the entire OSU & Clemson game this evening, I'm going to do an evening hunt instead.
The first half of the day, the wind direction forecasted is supposed to come from the WSW in the double digits and will not change direction until around 3:00 p.m. All types of East winds or North or South winds work best for that setup.
So, I'm going to sleep in a little cause I think I'm gonna need it, then go cut some more firewood during the first half of the day. I'll most likely head out for my hunt somewhere around 3:00 p.m.
Good luck to everybody else tomorrow morning! Hope you get yourself one!

There's a good possibility. Name the place & time and I just might make the detour. I'll be in Fairfield Co. until dark, after that, heading to Ross.

heading out in Coshocton with my boy, we've both upgraded ML platforms since these shots 23 years ago - Loved my T/C .50 cal Hawkin, posted up the story on this years hunting journal. The old Hawkin barrel lost temper and T/C wouldn't re-temper it so it's a decoration at camp now.
Anyway here's the ML we'll be taking out Sunday afternoon is the first hunt, he's currently driving in from CO.
First hunt with the T/C Bone collector. The Remingtom hs taken many.
Both ML sighted in same scope make model, at 100yds left target was 2 shots, then 6 clicks Right, dead on. Right target was the Remingtom, 5 clicks left. We're good out to 200yd.

Good luck to anyone walking out this morning. I gotta wait for the wind to switch before I take a kid out.
Actually, it isn't what they forecasted and now I'm screwed for this evening. The wind now is what we needed. 
Anyone still hunting this weekend weekend? I am thinking about taking a long slow walk this morning. The wind is perfect for it and I figure if nothing else I might push a deer toward my son.
Wind? What wind? Supposed to be dead still up here this afternoon. We are headed out around 3
