This also reminds me of something I was wanting to ask you. Have you done any more range testing of Blackhorn 209 and the T/C Black Diamond? I am curious of your final analysis of this test, since the open-breech design of the Black Diamond and the Blackhorn 209 are not supposed to be very compatible.
I
refuse to shoot BlackHorn 209 in my Black Diamond XR. After digging out a chunk of 209 primer from my forehead the last time, you might say.. I learn quick. Now I am fully aware that some open breech shooters use BlackHorn 209 and report no problems. But
there is that chance, that one of these times, a primer will blow out. And come back, as it did myself, into the face of the shooter. Let's hope it never happens. And if it does, no serious physical harm is done.
