Well i got to finally go shooting with LRH and Blackhorn 209. I almost used the whole can. There is no doubt, its greating just shooting and not swabbing the bore. I shot 40 times today , i did swab one time after 20 shots, everything loaded just the same the whole time.Cleanup at home still took me the same time. I imagine if i still had my encore cleanup time would be cut in half, but with this LRH , its a little more of a pain to clean even with BH209. I posted a few of my targets. I did get to try it at 200 yds for the first time. I wanted to ck out the claim of guaranteed 4" group at 200yds. I was just outside of that, but i know it was me, i couldnt get comfortable, theres no doubtthe guncan do it.

This is my other 200yd one with 250g barnes tmz with 110g BH209 9 SHOTS. Im really happy with the new burris scope with ballistic plex. I have it set to shoot 2" high at 50yds, dead on at 100 yds, and the 3 rd line is right on at 200yds if you can hold it still
RE: My first range session with BH209 and Knight LRH
i took a empty pill bottle and filled it with hoppes #9 and i drop the plug in it and shake it for awhile, then take it out and scrub it with a little wire brush, i repeat the step a few times. I also take a qtip and cut the cotton off the end after using it anduse that to ream out the whole where the primer goes, it fits nice, and then i use a nail to clean out the tiny hole of the breach plug. I just take the bolt apart and spray it with solvent and scrub it with a brush. I LOVE my LRH, but its a pain in the butt to clean. If blackhorn 209 came out before last year i would still be shooting the ENCORE, that would be a breeze to clean shootingblackhorn.
RE: My first range session with BH209 and Knight LRH
That is some pretty impressive shooting for 200 yards. If I can ever get to a place with that much open land I am going to have to try that.
Those groups are very good. I am sure with practice their accuracy claim would be possible. As you had to be very close to that now.
Nice shooting.

RE: My first range session with BH209 and Knight LRH
This is the first time i shot it at 200yds. I would never try to shoot a deer that far, and where i hunt there are no 200 yard shots. I just wanted to see what it would do. I was shooting that resting on a block of 4x4. Theres no doubt with a good rest and a steady shooter the gun could keep 4" or under at 200yds all day. I just dont have the steady hand, those close bull shots were just LUCK, at 200 yds it hard to even get the crosshairs in the triangle !!!
RE: My first range session with BH209 and Knight LRH
I've noticed that with my low power scopes that while they are a great aiming device, they almost cover an average target. I am sure that is what you were seeing. Still, good shooting.

RE: My first range session with BH209 and Knight LRH
great shooting... I had heck trying to shoot 150 for practice. 200 is just to far and I cant steady my rest for that far. But great shooting.. I was seeing 1 1/8th groups at 100 yards and 3inch at 150, but I know im pulling the shots out past 100 yards though
BH is some good stuff, just wish more came in the bottle LOL
RE: My first range session with BH209 and Knight LRH
i'm shooting nearly the same. expcet i'm using the burris sig select 3.5-10x40 and the 290gr tmz with 120gr. bh209. what primers are you using? i started with win209 and i hangfires all the time. the cc1209m caused no hangfire but i'm questioning how they effect the accuracy.
