Anyways Semisane was spot on. Could have shot it no problem. Before I removed the plug, I taped off the area where the hammer tilts down so no powder would get in that cavity. The powder poured out as if brand new. For those who say BH absorbs moisture like a sponge, well not in this case. Everything was cleaner than the board of health, zero corrosion. Attached are photos upon removing the plug, what a patch with a little bore cleaner on it looked like when it came out, and a picture of the plug. The threads of the plug had been teflon taped, came out like buttah. Thanks to those actually know for the advice, much appreciated.
NOT to make any wave here, but I think the point was/is, that they didn;t make a special breech plug fort this model CVA, , nothing to do with when blackghorn 209 was made, but about the breech plug only!
as not all inline guns have breech plugs made for the blackhorn powder!

, anyhow, , I'm glad it all worked out for you
