Right on. i won't be buying any BlackHorn 209. A friend has been out of town for months. Had breakfast with him yesterday and listened to his tail of woe. Seems like his Encore loved BlackHorn until it came time to shoot that huge 7x7 elk. Yep, it fizzled. It's back to Pyrodex for him.
i don't know what primer your friend was using, i will say with a hotter primer and a clean breech plug BH will go off without fail in any T/C inline rifle.it's possible he lives in a mild climate and was using a mild primer and then went to cold country to hunt elk and it did not fire.
