Blackhorn 209

[BlackRock52]

Local Walmart has 2 - 8 oz bottles for $83.99 each and lots of 209 primers

At that price I will stick with my GOEX for sure.

Well at least they have 209 primers. I have no need in the BH 209, especially at the price of only $168.00 a pound.

I have never used Blackhorn (and never will) but this post prompted me to look up load data and the only data I found was for rifles shooting modern style bullets - nothing for round ball loads. Is this propellant strictly for inline rifles shooting bullets? At $84/lb looks like you will pay @$0.84 per shot just for powder shooting a 70 gr load! Add a bullet and primer and appears the cost per shot will @$1.50! Has anyone used this in a traditional ML with round ball?

That’s $84 for 1/2 pound…

Blackhorn is meant for modern inlines and 209 primers but it doesn't work in all breechplug configurations. Even then it is meant to be a vol/vol equivalent, not weight/vol equivalent.
