Personally, I don't recommend it. It seemed to turn into some sort of super crud after fired. I never had as hard of a time cleaning a rifle before. As for my range report for the Electra, that will have to wait. I don't have enough time and the initial report isn't very good anyway.
Interesting. How large a booster charge did you use?

I practically had to chisel the powder residue off of the breech plug. At first I didn't think I was going to get the breech plug out. Luckily with the Electra they give you a bar to screw into one of the barrel lugs to hold the barrel still. Without that tool I would not have gotten it out. Heck, I bent the bar in the process of removing the breech plug. I mean that sucker was stuck! I used a 5 grain Pyrodex booster Semisane.
Pyrodex is the only sub that has all three ingredients of real BP. I guess one of them is not happy being mixed with what is basically smokeless powder.

BH209 will not work in it. You can put a 5 grain booster of T7 or pyrodex down first and then it fires BH209 perfectly. A great deal of Electra owners are doing this.
