RE: 25 ACP or 209 primers?
The CVA Accura BP can be made to fit the .25acp's. The inside dia of the bp for the 209 is .244 with the 209 being .241, the .25 acp has a dia of .251 and would need the bp bored to .254, .010 difference. Who would know the length of the 25 acp brass?

Paul, I have now converted my accura and several Encore's and Omega's and I will say the switch to the .25acp is nice and also looks good. I have made a holder to hold the shell which consist of a aluminum body with a steel insert to allow the removal of the primer and while I was at it I also made a small hammer
The conversion is very easy, I used a boring tool in the lathe and took all of 2 mins to finish. When I find for myself what differences there are between the thttp://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/moo_12008/102_1422-1.jpgwo I will let you know. http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/moo_12008/102_1422-1.jpg

RE: 25 ACP or 209 primers?
Has any one used the Vari -flame 209 primer adapter? You don't have to machine your breech plug or make any changes to the gun. I just got it and it looks good. I am using cci small rifle primers (and they cost about 1/2) The adapter only cost 24.99 at Cabela's. I got interested in the 25acp conversion when I watched Russell Lynch's video Maximizin Your Muzzlelozder. I then saw this thing at the precision bullet web site and liked the fact that it was less & and I didnt have to buy the Lee primer tool.
