BH 209

Got a question for you muzzleloader, I've been shooting triple seven pellets in my TC bone collector and got some blackthorn 209 coming that I want to try. If I'm shooting 100 grn of triple 7 what should I start with of the BH or what is equal by volume? Thanks for any info

Read the information here: http://www.blackhorn209.com/

Blackhorn 209 is more energetic and 120grs VOLUME is a maximum charge.

Most TC rifles shoot really well with between 100 and 110grs VOLUME. Most rifles with the right sabot/bullet combination shoot 110grs volume very well.
You do not use dedicated muzzleloader primers, such as those you'd use shooting pellets. Many prefer CCI209M or Federal 209A magnum primers. Although some have no problems with just a WIN209.
You'll need to put a 1/8" drill bit in your box. The drill bit is used to clean the carbon from the flash channel... BY HAND.

Thanks for the info encore.

I use triple 7 ffg and fffg. I have pored a 130 gn load into a measure as best as can. Then I weighed it and it came out to 112 gn by weight. Then I weigh each load at home and fill about 10 to 12 vials with carefully weighed out. This is extremely accurate. I ran my LabRadar and they were with in 10 to 20 FPS. What more could you want. If I need real knock down power I use 4 T7 pellets behind a Remington AccuTip in my UML with a T-Rex muzzle break by LS customs. I get 3" groups at 300 yds usually if I am in the mood. I really would never spend $160 a pound for it. I am a gun dealer and can get all I want of it for $72 for a 8oz can and that is ridicules in my opinion when I can buy 777 by the pound or pellets for $32. I clean my gun after I shoot it always so I do not care if it is cleaner. Supply and demand if people stopped buying it out when ever they see it it will be priced as it is. When they shrank the can to 8 oz that was like kicking us in the nuts. But it did not stop sales. I can and do go out and shoot a full pound of 777 at the range sometimes and do not even think about it. I have bought RS and custom and am going to try that as well to see how that works in my rifle. Shooting sabots I will never wear out the barrel but even if I do I will just replace it with my spare I bought 3 years ago new for $100. IMHO For less than $300 LS customs will thread and install a T-Rex muzzle break on your rifle if you can remove the barrel. Just a little more if you send him the whole gun. I one most improvement you can do to you gun is a muzzle break. If its a ML or just a rifle when your gun kicks as they do in the big rifle category. I have never used Black powder (old school) and never will.

I use 100 grains by volume in my TC G2 Contender .45.
