Now I have run into a problem. The first wads I shot were pink knight original wads. I have now purchased the new knight wads which are white. They load easier but will not fire. I had 3 pink wads left and both that I shot fired perfectly. Kept number 3 for measuring. Back to pyrodex for now as it fired fine with the white wads.

Sounds to me like loading easier is allowing gas to escape around the wad not allowing the primer to exert enough on the powder itself. Here's an idea, and simply an idea. I understand that it's a 12 ga bore to the best of my knowledge. You could try using a 12 ga gas seal over the powder before you run the wad down the pipe. That may allow enough back pressure to ignite the bh209. Might even try a felt or cork wad filler on top of the powder. Those are the only things I could think of at the moment but it certainly sounds to me as if that's the issue. BH209 suggest a closed breech for reliable ignition and when gasses are already expelling from the breech and then also allowed to bypass the wad, I'd bet that's the issue. Shame you can't get more of the pink wads.

was thinking about calling ballistic products giving them measurement and seeing if they had a match....the white wads did do well with pyrodex select so I can at least take it hunting for now. Had a great pattern with 1.5oz fed heviweight 1oz lead 8s very dense.over 80gr of pyrodex select.

Well, at least there's a backup plan. I'd bet that if the gas seal were tight enough, it'd still work though. Having said that, if BP can get you a properly sized replacement, you'd be in much better shape. Good luck with it and keep me posted.

I'm gonna try some #8 & #9 TSS shot in my TK2K. I'd think one or a combo would be great.
