    I'm all set, no need to worry. There's an unopened case under the work bench too. It'll go off every time.

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    When you wrote the original post you were complaining about a propellant problem that you had. Others who are very familiar with that propellant and don't have your issues, replied. They either tried to help or made suggestions. Most of the time you neglected to respond. Until today, your...

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    Well, maybe this is just one less person that'll be buying BH and leaving more for shooters/hunters. I've fired 10's of thousands of rounds of BH, and don't have hang fire, or ignition issues. I compete with it and don't know of another modern inline competitor who doesn't use BH209...

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    What can happen is that after cleaning and lubrication, there is the possibility that some lubricant can leach down into the flash hole and flash channel. One always wants to dry patch a clean barrel and remove ALL the lubricant possible. Once you patch it, then when firing a couple primers...

    Utah Muzzleloader Proposed Changes

    Everything done with a percussion side hammer, is done with a modern inline. You pour propellant down the barrel. You push a projectile down the barrel and seat it on the propellant. Same thing for both right????? If there's something done different, please explain. Next, to fire the...

    Utah Muzzleloader Proposed Changes

    Most dedicated muzzleloaders use their muzzleloaders during ALL legal hunts. One of the other guys posting also uses his muzzleloaders during all legal seasons. In the last 30yrs, except for a single time using a 450 Bushmaster and a single time using my 40-60, I hunt exclusively with a...

    Utah Muzzleloader Proposed Changes

    The increase in numbers of applicants, does mean that there's more people interested in muzzleloader hunting, which is because of the rifle hunts where so hard to draw and muzzleloader tags were not. Also, since scopes were allowed, there was a large increase in applicants from out of state...

    Utah Muzzleloader Proposed Changes

    Hummmm........... according to the data from the Utah Muzzleloaders Association, there has NOT been an increase in muzzleloader ....... HUNTERS. There has been an increase in applicants, many out of state hunters. It appears there's been a decrease in tags allocated due to lower and lower...

    Utah Muzzleloader Proposed Changes

    Here, and most other states call it "Muzzleloader Season". Primitive is what some think it is. There's so few muzzleloader hunters anymore, that states are now allowing straight wall cartridge rifles during the "Muzzleloader Seasons".

    Question on measuring by Volume?

    An example of verifying a volume measure, is to use fluid ounces of WATER. 109grains WEIGHT equals .25 fluid ounces. Ounces are a measure of weight. Fluid ounces is a measure of volume. Divide the mass (weight) by 437.5

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    I still have to ask, DID YOU FIRE OFF A COUPLE PRIMERS ONLY ... PRIOR .... TO LOADING THE RIFLE????? If.... you did not, then the hang fire was most likely caused by lubrication contamination. People clean and lubricate a barrel, then put the rifle in the safe, barrel up. Over a short period...

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    I guess it just hasn't happened to me yet. I've shot it since it hit the market decades ago and have never had a hang fire. If it hang fires, there's an issue with the ignition system of some kind or another. With the correct ignition system, in cold temperatures it will ignite properly...

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    Still an ignition issue, not the propellant. Are you popping a couple primers prior to loading? Sounds like a hangfire, likely from oil or contamination in the breech plug flash channel for flash hole.

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    Its an ignition problem, not a propellant problem. Have you cleaned the carbon out of the flash channel of your breech plug? You CAN NOT clean it with cleaners. You have to chip it out with a drill bit...... TURNED BY HAND.
