I'm probably good but rather be safe than good. The firing wasn't that worn a few shots ago.

Suppose to get near 20 today but with 25 mph winds it feel near zero. But we will be heading to the woods regardless of cold.

To the guy that said he doubt this would of happened with other powders! That was my first thought if I had kept my knight and had triple seven those be dead deer. As some know on here I rid of the knight to shoot a rifle approved for black horn.
Buckfever, I'm guessing you meant me. I don't know if it would have been a problem or not. That was just my gut, based on my experience with Pyrodex mostly, and reg black powder some.

Obviously these guys are way more experienced than I with BH209. They've given you some great tips to run with. Good luck on your future hunt.

Oh, and I'm sure you know the Knights DO shoot BH209 quite well also.
