[QUOTE="RandyWakeman, post: 987406, member: 5423"] The Remington Model 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader was designed and tested with Blackhorn 209. That's straight from John R. Fink | Director Product Management - Rifles Remington - Marlin - H&R - Nesika Rifles - Dakota Arms. In fact, the majority of the independent testers, including myself, that were chosen to evaluate the Remington Model 700 Ultimate prior to its release chose to shoot primarily Blackhorn 209. Remington was long aware of the sub-standard breechplug material used by the Michigan Ultimate, 300 series stainless stainless, and John Fink himself is a long-time BPXpress owner. Erosion was a problem with T7 in the BP Xpress, with Triple Se7en being more erosive than Blackhorn 209. Remington Engineering redesigned the breechplug, using stronger 416 stainless, a stronger thread design, and instead of using the wrong brass (pistol brass) for Large Rifle Primers, reengineered in shortened .308 brass. Blackhorn 209 was and is a recommended propellant for the Remington Model 700 Ultimate. Additionally, Western Powders (Blackhorn 209) has had a Remington Model 700 Ultimate in-house for some time now.
