I have just bought a new left over Tradition Buckstalker .50 rifle. It was made in 2010 and does not have the accelerator breech plug. It has the hex head breech plug with the concave pocket where the powder sits. I haven't shot it yet. I noticed when I place a Winchester W209 primer in the primer pocket, it lack several thousandths from fitting flush with the breech plug face. Is this normal? I though maybe it was designed that way so you could use your finger nails to remove the spent primer. If it was flush, how would you get the spent primer out? The gun closes fine with the primer in place. Also, I checked the diameter of the breech plug's flash hole at work with some pin gauges. It is .034". Will this be fine with Blackhorn 209 powder? Any advice or experience with this would be appreciated.
