Does anyone use Blackhorn 209?? The web reviews all seem positive, but i would like some real non-professional opinons.
First bottles I bought read, "It is not necessary to clean your barrel immediately after use". However the bottle I just bought reads "...we strongly recommend to clean your firearm as soon as possible after shooting". Soooo I clean soon as I can - but easy with only Hoppes #9.So, this powder is non-corrosive
I remember seeing a review of Blackhorn 209 in either Handloader or Guns of the Old West magazine, and they said it is so named because it was developed for use in muzzleloaders with a 209 primer, and not to use any other. Deviate at own risk. Other than that, they said it was clean burning like smokeless, but with all the glorious smoke.
Been doing that too for almost two years - http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453779Are you going to use it in a muzzleloader?
