[QUOTE="dblman, post: 2754630, member: 60198"] Three years ago I resigned from my last deer lease. A lease where we hunted mostly with muzzleloader. I bought a 5# keg of Blackhorn just before I left and it’s been sitting in my loading room for 3 years. Tried to use it on a new CVA Accura rifle, hangfire, misfire, backfire, everything but good solid shooting. I had decided that it had gone bad so I called Hodgdon who bought Blackhorn from Western Powders. Their chief customer service guy, Luis was a tremendous help. He analyzed my load components and immediately had the answer to my trouble. WRONG PRIMER When I was shooting before these new MZ primers had not been introduced. I shot regular 209 primers, no problem. After Luis gave me the answer, I grabbed a box of CCI 209 M primers and headed back to the range. 12 shots, no misfires or hangfire and a 3 shot group at 100 yards that nets .373.. Pretty happy right now. Don’t let anyone tell you that MZ primers work with Blackhorn, they do not. Thanks [/QUOTE]
