Blackhorn 209 Muzzle-loading Rifle Powder: Western's Blackhorn 209 powder is recommended for high-performance Inline muzzle-loading rifles with 209 shotgun shotshell primer ignition systems only, and only where the 209 primer is totally enclosed in the breech plug.
This powder is not for use with any special muzzle-loading rifle primers, such as, Remingtons Kleanbore Muzzleloading 209 Size Primers, #11 percussion caps, musket caps or high-powered rifle primers. This powder is not suitable for side-lock, cap-lock or flint-lock muzzle-loading rifles.
Note: I personally use CCI 209 Magnum Primers to ignite this powder in a new, CVA Accura V2 .45 caliber magnum muzzle-loading rifle, extremely accurate.
Western's Blackhorn 209 muzzle-loading rifle powder when used as directed, consistently shoots with higher velocities and greater accuracy than any other muzzle-loading rifle powders. It's engineered to eliminate swabbing and cleaning between shots. Blackhorn 209 powder has the industry's lowest standard deviations in velocity and pressure and a low pressure-to-velocity ratio for very precise performance every time. A Key Feature: This powder's residue cleans with regular powder solvents as you would use cleaning any of your center-fire or rim-fire firearms. No Special Solvents Needed! Features:
Higher velocity.
Minimal fouling.
Extreme accuracy.
No swabbing between shots.
Shelf life is essentially unlimited.
Cleans with regular centerfire solvents.
Blackhorn 209 is virtually non-hygroscopic.
Changes in temperature or humidity do not affect performance.
Note To All Hunters: Although Blackhorn 209 is far less hygroscopic than any other black powder substitutes, barrel sweating will put moisture directly in contact with the powder and absolutely will affect powder performance, degrading it to the point of, it will not ignite.
When done hunting for the day empty or discharge your muzzle-loading rifle and start the next day with a fresh charge in your rifle and be sure not to put your rifle in a situation where the barrel may sweat. This powder does not pass the sweat test. Cold rifle to warm vehicle back to cold rifle the barrel will sweat and render this powder useless.
