no, revolvers all use either a No. 10 or 11 percussion cap
Federal 209A primers are hotter than Federal 209 primers and are hotter than Winchester or Remmington or CCI 209 primers. To duplicate your load when substituting Federal 209A primers in place of any other 209 primer, use 1 grain less powder for like performance.
Under FEDERAL law, a felon may not possess 209 primers anywhere in the US. They are considered ammunition, where percussion caps are not. Most inline muzzleloaders use 209 shotshell primers.
If this question is asking if 209 shotgun primers can be used to ignite blackpowder, the answer is yes. That presupposes that the firearm is designed to do so. There are some inline rifle muzzleloders that are so designed. If the question is asking if a muzzleloder can be modified to use a 209 primer I don't know if I would even consider doing that unless that gun was of the inline design, even then the cost would probably make it not worth the effort. you would probably have a hard time finding a gunsmith willing to tackle the job.
Under FEDERAL law, yes- if it is a caplock or flintlock (no 209 primer guns) HOWEVER- state laws vary. Some states permit, some prohibit. Georgia does not permit a felon to possess a muzzleloader (includes ball & cap) Virginia permits, but does not allow a felon to possess black powder. #209 primers (shot shell primers) are considered ammunition under Federal law, and a felon may not possess ammunition.
A Traditions Buckhunter muzzleloader typically uses #209 shotgun primers. These primers are designed for muzzleloading applications and provide reliable ignition for the black powder or substitute propellants commonly used in these firearms. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations and safety information.
By 870 I assume you mean the Model 870 shotgun? If so, there would be no purpose for that type of conversion. Shotshell primers are of the 209 size. The 209 "conversion" is done with muzzle loaders. The idea is to replace the muzzle loader nipple (that holds the cap) with a conversion unit that uses the 209 shotshell primer to get more positive ignition of the black powder.
No. However, if you are a "prohibited person" it is illegal for you to possess 209 shotshell primers. Percussion caps are OK, 209 primers are not.
There are none produced that I know of, a 209 primer would be over kill in a revolver due to the small chamber and lower amounts of powder.
Among muzzle loaders, caplocks and flintlocks do not use 209 primers.
Rifle primers are generally not reccommended for muzzle loading firearms- the flame is not large enough to reliably ignite black powder or Pyrodex. There are nipples that use a #209 shotgun primer, and even then, it is reccommended that you use a primer intended for black powder. Check with Dixie Gun works for a nipple that will fit your rifle.
Not unless it was manufactured prior to 1898 and is classified as an antique.The problem with owning one even then is that under 18 USC, felons are not permitted to possess explosives, and black powder is an explosive. Therefore, even if you lawfully owned a genuine antique, you could not legally poossess the powder to fire it.
Well......... As far as I know, a 209 primer isn't a paint primer at all. It is an ignition source for the powder in a bullet. There are a few different types, 209 being one of the most common. They're most commonly used in shotgun shells, and black powder rifles.
