[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 3093507, member: 112241"] Learn something new everyday! I had no idea such conversions for LR existed. I only have two BP guns that use 209's, the rest are all traditional muzzleloading flintlock and cap lock guns in .45, .50, .54 and .58, but I'm not shooting over 200 yards, and have a pile of 209's put away so am good. I'll keep this in mind if I ever get a long range BP rifle that can take advantage of using them. P.S. OK, re-read some of these posts and see the ranges mentioned, and guess you guys are talking about smokeless ML's, (?) which I know nothing about. I'd have to hold my Hawken up at 60 degrees to get 800 yards…! One thing I never got when I was stocking up on components a few years ago as I didn't have a 209 BP gun at the time was any BH209. I have a rolling case full of Goex BP and 777 and other BP substitutes, but for 209 primers hear Blackhorn is excellent. I could have got it cheap back then, but now at $100+ a pound guess I'll have to get by without it! 😳 [/QUOTE]
