I was thinking on the same lines as Hedgelj.... One of the advantages of BH209 is its not absorbing moisture as quickly as other powders. If the gun has a breech plug, is it one designed especially for BH209?? Also BH209 needs a hot 209 primer such as CCSI Magnums. Another thing is, instead of taping end of barrel on wet days, cut the finger off a surgical glove and slide it over the end of barrel. It will blow right off when you shoot. I even put one on if it just stopped raining or snowing, as the bushes are wet and it doesn't take but a drop or two to run down the barrel.

I use CCI 209 magnums, I like the glove idea, I am going to that. Come to find out that some how the cva blackhorn 209 breach plug was switched for the factory one. I must have mixed them up, I have used the factory before I got the 209 plug with no issues.

My 10 year old has hunted as hard as anyone, we have hunted almost all day everyday since Monday. We also hunted some Saturday and Sunday. The only time he complains is when he tells me he is hungry. We did have our misfire issue and even if we don't get a deer I wouldn't trade the time and the adventure we have had so far this week.

I am very blessed to have a wife that will let me keep him out of school for a week, we do have all his make up work that we work on in the evenings.

That's awesome!

It'll come full circle and he'll be dragging you around the woods in no time! Keep it up. Doesn't get any better
