Why BH 209?

[centershot]

If you are shooting an inline, BH209 without a doubt is the best. For sidelock shooters, Swiss or OE will be the best top performance powders. Never had a problem with regular Goex myself.

THIS!!! Most reliable ignition across the board for me, I'll never go back to anything else!

Smoke comparison:



Shooting BH209 in an inline muzzleloader is like shooting a .308 smokeless cartridge. Smoke (or lack thereof) is the same, clean up is the same (Hoppe's No9 or CLP).

I prefer the smokey stuff when I have the itch for muzzleloading. If I take all that time time to load up for one shot, I want to experience the shot. At $10/pound and granules the size of cat litter, BlackMZ is a lot of fun for the range. I still have to build my CVA percussion rifle to get more of the experience, then a flinchlock to go all the way. But for now, smokey stuff with bare bullets for the experience, BH209 and 45 ACP bullets in sabots for accuracy.

Nice comparison! Thanks!
