Why No Reports On BH In A Caplock?
 

With all of the guys out therehaving gun cabinets overflowing with BlackHorn, I'm surprised there's been no reports of anyone trying it in a caplock with a starter charge of five grains of Pyrodex orGOEX.What ever happened to the spirit of adventure?? :D

I had a nightmare last night that i went to my local shooting shop where i always go and they had 4 cans of bh209 for $60 each. LMAO, not kidding with you guys either!:D Ever dream about dumb stuff like that?

I do not see the point of duplexing... especially while hunting and if your are going to use real BP - even a smal duplexload - you going to have to clean the gun right away any way.

I my limited shooting with BH - it is no more accurate than T7 and only creates a bit more velocity... in fact the POI really does not change significantly...

Then again I read somewhere of a person doing just as you have suggested and it works very well.

I have to agree with Sabotloader.. if the reason you're shooting a powder is to avoid swabbing and cleaning, then why duplex. Also BH should be cleaned with a solvent. So that means the water bath in your traditional rifle would not work to remove the BH from the barrel.

That's what I would think too guys. But I keep seeing these reportsclaimingsignificantly better accuracy with BH than other powders - not so much on this forum, but certainly on Graybeard and Modern Muzzleloading. So I figured someone would surely try it in a caplock in search for accuracy.

If you spent that kind of money for a powder, wouldn't you brag on the stuff?
Isn't many who will tell the real truth ifin they felt they got snookered.

Actually I tried it in the inlines and the accuracy was exceptional. Although that rifle shots exceptional with any powder you want to put in it. The no swabbing was sure nice though.

:DYooper, you're a cynic. I like cynics. :D:D

is this stuff any different then the BLACK MAG?

RE: Why No Reports On BH In A Caplock?
 

Buy one container of Black Mag 3 (yes, BH209 is very different), use 20 grains of BM3 topped with enough BH209 to make your charge. That should work even in a sidelockand be reasonably non-corrosive. I've been meaning to do that with a White, for da halibut, but you know about the road to hell...

Some of us have no doubt that it is more consistant and more accurate; I think you have to realize that the sighting system the gun and the shooter have to be capable of that accuracy also or the differance wont show. Lee
