Looking at picking up a mid level ML. I found the CVA Accura to fit the bill. I'll be shooting *BH209, so I know I'll need the aftermarket breech plug for that type powder, and shot shell primers or magnum primers.

Ive read about a firing pin bushing shim kit that most people use to get a "crush fit" on the primer of .003 to .005 that closes up the headspace, and prevents blow by from the primer. I don't know much about crush fitting a primer, but it doesnt sound too safe to me, but maybe I'm wrong...

So, does anyone shoot a CVA and care to elaborate on their experiences with a crush fit primer, powder loads and bullets, thanks.
