I tried the Blackhorn 209 (100 Grains) this year in my stainless .50 CAL. T/C Omega. I was using regular 209 shotgun primers since the label said to and my bullets were the 295 GR. Hollowpoint Powerbelts. When I went to check my scope, the first time I pulled the trigger the Omega failed to fire. The only thing I can figure is I didn't have the breech plug hole cleaned out enough on the first shot. I shot 2 times after that, almost putting both bullets through the same hole at 1 inch high at 50 yards. I didn't fire it anymore until the 3rd day of muzzleloader season when I took a decent 8 point. The deer went only a short distance and I would say my 30.06 would not have put it down any better. After I shot the 8 point, I loaded the muzzleloader and carried it the rest of the week, at times in rainy weather. At the end of the week instead of pulling the breech plug and dumping the powder and bullet I wanted to see if the gun would fire. I pulled the trigger on it and it fired just fine. Clean up was very easy with very little effort. Another thing I noticed was there was very little smoke when the gun fired. In the past I have had to wait for the smoke to clear to see if the deer was on the ground or running off. Not so with the Blackhorn 209.
I must add also that my brother in law tried the Blackhorn 209 in his Knight muzzleloader this year. His performed well and he shot a bigger 8 point than I got. He also commented that there was little smoke with that powder. I noticed when he shot his deer, from a distance I heard the shot and it didn't even sound like a muzzleloader. I can tell that powder has some umph to it.
I have tried about all the muzzleloader powders on the market and it appears to me that Blackhorn 209 is going to be one of the best ones. What's not to like? Great accuracy, no swabbing the barrel between shots, easy to seat bullet after mutiple shots, real easy clean up without the sulfur smell of other powders and its supposed to be no corrosive according to the company.
