Re: Greener Bore Rifle

If you modified the cases, would you use modern large rifle primers or would it be better to go to a 209 series type primer; using BP & quite a lot of it?
Real black powder is very easy to ignite.
If the primer pocket wasn't too deep to use rifle primers, that would be my first choice - actually I'd likely stand at the lathe and make spacers for the existing pockets before I'd bore them open.
On going forward, that wrist repair will need to be very sound, as the rifle's regulation relies upon a solid stock.
