Just gettting back into muzzleloading again and have always used pyrodex and mostly T777 and always liked the T777 but how good is the Blackhorn 209 that I am hearing about.Is the accuracy as good as they say and especially how good is it for not being corrosive to the barrel.They also claim it loads easier with follow up shots and wonder if this is true as normally I use the Barnes Expander bullets which I think load pretty hard but they are so accurate and have such great expansion so that is why I want to stick with them.Any feedback will be appreciated.

I am switching to it in my Omega, no swabbing necessary and I only shot about 10 shots with it, but it was accurate and very little smoke. I like it, I think the cost will come down as it gets more widespread. The picture is a 3 shot 100 yard group in an Omegawith a Barnes 300g MZ with supplied sabot and 100g of BH, Federal Primer. It loads much easier than 777. The expansion is a function of the bullet your using not the powder. Chap Gleason
