[QUOTE="Deleted member 56284, post: 1036198"] The primary difference between the breech plugs is that the standard plugs are designed for pellets and are flat with a small lip on the outer edge. The pellets have the hole down the middle to assist with ignition as the flash moves up that hole as it spreads outward. The Blackhorn breech are designed for loose powder. The face is dished so that the powder is funneled right to the flash hole to assist with ignition. It will provide a more consistent, uniform and reliable ignition (especially in colder temps). If you go to website for Blackhorn they have a load chart and at the top of the chart is a conversion table (a multiplication factor) for converting Weight by Volume to Weight by actual weight in grains. I use it but prefer you look it up for self. I use my RCBS electronic dispenser/scale to drop charges of 209. That is one of the great things about Blackhorn is that you can safely and accurately run it through a dispenser. There is a lot to like about Blackhorn as a blackpowder substitute. I shoot mostly smokeless but the black powder guns I do have I shoot Blackhorn 209 exclusively. [/QUOTE]
