I wanted to shoot four different bullets today with the new Black Horn Powder to see how well they behaved. I used the Knight Disc Rifle because it is such an accurate rifle. It was hot out today, in the low 80's and a terrible cross wind, so I was a little worried about how the wind was going to play into all of this. We have a thunder storm headed in so I knew I had to shoot fast.

I started with Shockwaves. 300 grain in the sabot they supplied. For reasons I have yet to figure, that heavy bullet shot high. I was aiming dead center on the X and the group while under 2 inches was high. At no time was I swabbing the barrel. This powder could get real addictive. As I HATE TO SWAB a muzzleloader.

Then I tried some Hornady .430 diameter 300 grain XTP's in crushed rib sabots. As I expected, since the rifle is sighted in for 75 yards, they hit low and just a little off center but not much.

The shocker of the day was the 10mm 200 grain Hornady XTP's in blue MMP sabots. While they hit furthest left of all, I attribute that to the cross wind. They held an excellent group. Also I tested these on a head of lettuce. It was a science experiment in the lower drawer of the refrigerator that got away from me. So I put that out there. These little 200 grain XTP's would blow huge chunks from that head of lettuce and send it flying. I shot the thing four times until there was nothing left but bad salad.

The last bullets I shot were the Speer Gold Dot Hollow Points in .452 in 250 grain. This time, guessing the wind was going to effect them I aimed to the right of the X on the edge of the yellow tape. These shot very well.

This powder is amazing. It shoots very consistent, clean up is very easy, the breech plug comes back out as if you never shot... I almost wonder if I could shoot this stuff without greasing the plug.

If you have a rifle that can shoot this stuff, and you come across it.. (semisane) you really owe it to yourself to try this powder. I would be very interested in your thoughts on this stuff after you shoot it. The only real bite from this stuff is the cost and it is hard to find right now. Other then that, this is the REAL DEAL!!
