Jon, I have not tried BH with these bullets - remember I am shooting a #11 cap in a short 24" barrel. Also this is a plunger gun - so you can push the plunger back with higher charges

Also I do not think that BH would add very much to the velocity of this weight bullet - in a grain for grain swap. BH certainly works better with the heavier bullets but it is about 150-200 FPS increase.

This chart kinda shows what I am talking about, it was shot with a 300 grain bullet from a longer barrel but you get the idea...



It becomes even more evident in these lighter bullets....
