Believe me, I was not trying to start an argument on which powder is best, and why. When I read his post he asked about Pyrodex or Triple Seven in powder or loose form. Almost immediately he was steared off those choice, his choices I might add, to a different powder. I only wanted to point out that there was nothing in the least bit wrong with his original choices.
And yes, I shoot BlackHorn 209 powder. It is a good powder. Although for the first two shots I can get a flier in my rifles. After the first two shots.. its dead on.
And I know there are a lot of dedicated Black Horn 209 powder shooters. But I was running low on powder again. I was down to a pound of BlackHorn 209 and just a couple of Black Powder and almost out of Pyrodex and Triple Seven. So I ordered a half case of powder. And in that entire case, there was no BlackHorn 209 ordered. It just does not excite me like it does some of you. Although, it is a good powder.
After he works a good load up and is comfortable shooting his rifle, then I encourgage him or anyone to experiement with powders, primers, and projectiles and see which ones out there work for YOU the best.
