.25 ACP Conversion for Encore
Is anyone shooting the .25 ACP conversion for the Encorewith CCI 400 small rifile primers yet? How do you like it? Any problems?
I just got mine in today and can't make up my mind between the 209 or .25 ACP primers?

RE: .25 ACP Conversion for Encore
I have the 209 adapters they work just fine in both my 209x50 Omega and 209x45 Encore . They do burn cleaner and reduce the crud ring . In fact Cabela's has the 209 adapters . In reading your other post stay away from bore cleaners between shoots , I use Windex multi-task cleaner with vinegar it's the clear one . Just some on a patch then 2 dry ones . also find sometime to clean the hole in the breach plug . After all the first shoot is the one that counts. Chaz3815

RE: .25 ACP Conversion for Encore
I shoot the Variflame set up with CCI 400 small rifle primers and my encore is pretty accurate with them. Cabelas has the Variflame set up for around $24. Primmers are like 2-3 per $100. I will say that with Pyrodex, everything gets pretty dirty but it's manageable. I shot 25 times without cleaning the breech plug using the Variflame and never once had a missfire. Definately reduces or almost eliminates any crud ring with 777. I don't think I have had the pleasure of one yet. Lucky I guess, I can get 3 shots in a row with 100 gr. loads. The 25 ACP is the same general principle as the Variflame, just a larger holder for the primer. Both work equally well. I was sceptical at first but, I'm sold on them. Either way I don't think you will go wrong.
What do you shoot with that thing ? Mosquitoes ?

OK...the 25ACP is a conversion breech plug. Instead of shooting a 209 primer you shoot a small rifle primer out of 25ACP brass. The breechplug has been milled as a custom deal throughPrecision Bulletsto accept the 25 ACP brass.
