First, if you run a search and find it theres a post a week or two a go that tells what size drills ect for doing your own conversion. Some very good intellagent people on here have said that while there is a big difference in clean up and blow back they could NOT tell any differance in accuracy. Lee

I really wonder if the simple change over to a 25 ACP casing would stop the fliers? The rifle was made to shoot a 209. I hate to change any rifle's designuntil I have tried all options. Be very attentive to your powder charges, projectiles, cleaning routine, swabbing, and how you address the rifle on the range. I think that would do more to end fliers then a simple different ignition system.

To be honest with you I see no difference in accuracy - where I do see the difference is in the cleanliness of the gun - it is worth every dime and I would not go back....
I shoot the same groups before as i do now... really good groups...
