My brother was using blackhorn during hunting season. After we came out of the woods he wanted to fire his gun. It shot like a sparkler when coming out of his barrel. The bullet went 10 feet. He had practiced with this setup many times but he was averaging this result at least 4 or of 5 shots. He called Blackhorn and they said he needed to seat the load very tight on the bullet. For me I like a powder that will be forgiving if I make a small mistake in the field. I'm one of the few guys I know that got great results from Blackmag 3 powder. I have 4 containers of it and once its gone I will go back to triple 7. That being said I wish I could at least try blackhorn in my mk85 but I know better then to try it now with a plunger style gun.
