I have an Encore PH frame with a Bergara barrel and I have had few issues with BH 209. If the sabot is a looser type, forget ignition. But having shot 2 bottles of the stuff now, I have worked out any small issues due to the range time I have put in. I have to say that the pros outweigh the cons by a far margin for me.

With that said I would have no problem shooting 777 or pyrodex from the gun either, but I know I will have to swab between shots. Not a big deal. All of them have their place.
