Customer Feed Back on Remington 700 ML/MLS 209 Conversion

10/16/2016

0 Comments

 
Always enjoy helping customers.   It really seems like plain 'ol good Americans like to shoot muzzle loaders, and many of them have the old Remington 700 ML/MLS and are tired of unreliable ignition, crud in their face, and scopes getting eaten by blow back.   They are looking for the better solution we offer.    Below is a recent email from a repeat customer,  Dennis, from North Carolina, who bought our Remington 700 209 Conversion Kit and installed it himself:

Shot my first Blackhorn 209 through Rem 700MLS on Saturday after upgrade with your kit.  No misfires or problems of any kind on 3 shots and all between 1852 and 1879 fps with 70gn by weight (to test) and 240gn HP/XTP.  Was a little slower than expected based on experience with Pyrodex.  But, I think I have room in BH 209 powder charge to get back to 2000 fps safely and….   I can give away my protective scope wraps.  Primers slip in and literally fall out if I turn gun over.  Bolt disassembly is no longer part of each cleaning.
 
Good product.  Firing pin install was a little tricky but overall installation not too bad.
 
Best regards,
 
Dennis

Thanks for the positive feed back, Dennis!

As you are using BH 209 by weight, and 70gr by weight = 100gr by volume (equivalent black powder is measured by volume, not weight), you can increase your load by working up to 120gr by volume according to Western Powders.   So you have more room to increase velocity if that is your desire.

Most of my 700 MLS rifles have shot best at 80 to 100 gr by volume of Blackhorn209.
​
For those of you who don't want the hassle of installing the firing pin and nose to your bolt, we offer installation of the kit for reasonable fees and have great turn around times.
