I shot 3 groups of 3 shots each works just fine,
How did the groups compare to your previous results with Pyrodex, T-7, or BP? PLEASE tell me they weren't any better.

They were under 3 inches at 100 with iron sights, for me since I have had to used bifocals thats as good as it gets. I think the limiting factor was the shooter, there for I can not really answer that question. Lee

Inlines with 209 ignition only. Hence the name "blackhorn "209" "
I realize it was MADE for inlines.Coke wasn'tmade to remove corrosion off of batteries either but it works.

Yes as a matter of fact I did, I primed it with about 10 gr of black just to see what it would do and that worked fine. I also shot some with a outfit I bought many years ago before we ever heard of inlines it is similar to a musket nipple only you can unscrew the top and put a largerifle primer in it with mag large rifle primers it shot the BH209 fine. I only tried it in my Renagade 54 cal. With 110 gr and the mag large rifle primer it was very accurate and 2100fps. Lee
Very interesting, thanks lemoyne. A lot of people duplex loads, why not do it with this. I shall have to do some testing when I finally get my hands on some. In the meantime if you do any more testing w/sidelocks let me/us know. It'd be very interesting.
