Im using the CVA Accura Muzzle loader with bh209. I tried using the remington sts primer and the fed fusion primers but have had hang fires continually with both. I went from 110 gr to 95 grains and swab the barrel after a couple rounds. I have been using Hornady 45 cal 300gr xtp mag bullets w/harvester sabots they shoot really good between the hang fires. I bought some Winchester w209 primers tonight. Will see how they work tomorrow.
I've pretty much given up on Blackhorn in my two Knight LRHs. Too much trouble getting the right load and dealing with hangfires. I shoot an Omega with two pellets, a 285 Barnes boattail and get three inch groups at 200 yds. A friend just picked up a couple jugs of this new blackpowder substitute, BlackMag XP, which guarantees no hangfires. If this works as advertised, I'd suspect many BH209 users will switch. Competition.........it's a good thing. No financial interest in this company so here's the website: Official BlackMag Industries, BlackMag Powder, and Lightning Loads Website
Just got done testing my new win primers. They work great! I increased the load to 105 grains and im clover leaf'n the target. Perfect conditions outside to test the muzzleloader, its cold and we got snow last night. I was a little worried at first about this powder but its alot cleaner. I think the results on the target are better than any load I had with 777. The bullet combo is alot cheaper to buy too. A box of 50 bullets 17.99 and the sabots 7.99. $26.oo for 5o bullets is a good deal to me!
