Not really. I like Blackhorn. But for some having to drill out the hard carbon in the breechplug might be considered as bad as the crud ring. Having to have a certain breechplug design and hot enough primers,as well as cost might cause some to conclude that Blackhorn is substandard. Just depends on the individual.Not only that but I can shoot 777 in every gun I own including my Sidelocks and Blackhorn only in a select few.
Right now Blackhorn is second on my list and 777 is back in first place.
