Terry Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Anyone have any experience with the blackhorn209 powder? Good or bad. What are you guys using to measure it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdmckane Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 It's an awesome powder, if you can find it. I just went back to Triple Se7en FFg because I can't find BH209. I just use a regular black powder measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I only use it. I get it by the 5 pound container out of the carolinas. It measure by volume same as any substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nys-buckstalker Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 A real good powder . Burns clean and leaves no fouling to speak of. Can clean up with regular gun cleaner solvents. Have to use shotgun 209 primers with it, not black-powder 209 primers. Only real down side with it is most dealers don't carry it and only comes in 10 oz. bottles instead of full pounders. Accuracy is good with it. You measure it out like any other black-powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Rarely do I support a product full-fledged. BH209 is one of them, best on the market imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I use it and love it. Make sure to use the right primers, as has been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 After calling around without any luck, I ended up ordering some from cabelas. I had to pay a extra $20 for hazardous shipping. I hope this stuff is all it's supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbuff Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Order it from a guy called Carlos from Eds gun shop in north Carolina. He can waive the hazmat fee, you can't by it any cheaper anyplace . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top ramen Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Blackhorn 209 is a great black powder substitute. I used Pyrodex pellets in my T/C in the past and could hardly load a second or third round without cleaning. Blackhorn 209 shots like black powder but does not foul like blackpowder. It cleans easily with water or conventional solvents. The price I paid this past spring was $32.00 for a 10 Oz container. The powder is extremely light so the weight of the container is misleading- You actually get more loads from that container than other powders. Great Stuff. 6ML by volume = @96gr blackpowder by volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
