I do not use an aftermarket breechplug for Blackhorn in either my Knight or T/C.

Also, I wold rather ream the breechplug channel every 5-6 shots, versus use an extra 10 patches for cleaning the ML using blackpowder versus Blachorn, which usually gets my bore clean in four patches, versus 14 with real blackpowder or Pyrodex.

I no longer use 777. Too many crud rings and froze-up breechplugs halted my use of 777.

Did I mention how little corrosion Blachorn displays? Did I mention how it's hygroscopic properties outshine the others?

I am not 100% sold-yet on a steady diet of Blackhorn. But I'm closing-in on the finish line and Blackhorn is several lengths ahead of the others.
