New to using Blackhorn 209 need some help

[Huntscreek]

I'm switching to BH209 from Pyrodex powder. Is 90 PP equal to 90 BH on PP measure tube. BH says Charge Volume. Can Someone help me with converting. I know weights are different vs volume but Looking for a 90 grain shot of BH.Thanks

thanks it helps. I know that volume isn't equal to grain weight, they list both. I like each shot to be consistent, I am going to weigh each.

Blackhorn 209 is used at the same volume as your Pyrodex.

 

The site has sample loads, the velocities will be higher for a given volume of Blackhorn but I believe the pressures will be the same.

 

So, if you load 90 grains of BH by volume (same volume as your Pyrodex) you will get a higher velocity and a flatter trajectory.  You should recheck your sight in, it will probably be different.

 

Just my experience.

I started with 70g by weight of black horn 209 @100yrds not good. Today I put 90g BH209 with 250g SST hornady sbots @ 100yrds best group yet

CVA Wolf SS with Konus 275 3-9×40 scope.

That group isn't too shabby. Tweek it to the right a hair and put it away.

Ants, I ran out of bullets lol. I'm going to pick more up this weekend, want to move that group right for sure. I'd like to keep it a bit high. Man this CVA did not like the 70g BH209, bumped up to 90g what a difference. My knight with #11 is not as picky.
