The greatest power ever devised! I gave away all my other powders and will only use Black Horn.

Shoot it all week with out cleaning my TC Omega once. And I swab once for every 28 shots. I love that I can keep it loaded all deer season without worrying about corrosion.

When I do clean it, it it sparkles like a mirror. No rust at all. And the breach plug comes out like a dream.

I love the fact that after you open the BH it will not deteriorate either.

I killed 10 ground hogs this year. 9 with my crossbow and one with the BP last night. Those 240 xtps really can make a hog flip.


Still haven't cleaned my gun...lol

3 things to know:

a)Make sure to clean all the oil out of the barrel before you load the powder. I use hoppes 9. and 2 dry patches. Then load BH (100 grains). Then your sabot. Then run a patch of light gun oil up to the tip of your load. You could leave your gun like that for months and not worry.

If you do not clean the oil out you will get a double fire or miss fire because BH is very sensitive to oil and will soak it up, causing ignition problems. Popping a cap and swabbing before loading is a quick way to get it ready in the field.

b)Use a shotgun primer to ignite

c) Clean the bp plug using a hand 1/8 drill bit. hand turn to get the crud out. then use solvent. Takes 3 minutes
