They ignite 14 gr. of Blue Dot just fine, thought I'd try then in the brass, had good results. Now, the only powder I've tried them on in brass shotshells is Longshot in a 10 ga. Can't speak for any
other powder, gauge, or combo.
I see no reason not to order the hulls with 209s in mind.
Yeah I dont see a reason to be experimenting with homemade base wads.
I talked to Precision Reloading about testing brass shells but they said they cant do it brass.

The question of why not smokeless powders in brass cases came up on a different forum once. I don't remember exactly why, but if you'll notice all modern shells have a base wad so none of the powder lies below the top of the primer. If I remember it's so the powder starts burning in the back and works it's way forward. With BP it doesn't matter. Sorry I couldn't help more.
