In a package lot buy I ended up with nearly 1k Rem 97 primers. In my minimal research the only difference (other than being out of production) is that the primers do not have the tissue covering over the spark outlet and there’s the warnings out there not to be used with ball powders in shotgun shells. No need to discuss or waste time on that as I’m not loading shotgun.
I have 2 inline muzzleloaders both with 209 plugs in them, an older CVA Buckhorn exclusively powered by Pyrodex RS and a new CVA Wolf using Blackhorn 209 powder. I’m fiddling with cast, sabot and belted bullets for range fun only.
My supply of 209 primers is dwindling (down to my last 50).
Any foreseen issues using the 97s to fire off the 2 powders?
