Thank you MountainDevil54 for doing the testing necessary to answer the question that I had asked on several forums about whether a load of Black Horn 209 could be ignited using a booster charge. Now I can go ahead and buy BH209 to use in some of my #11 percussion cap guns.

...I've been waiting to hear about duplex loads using Blackhorn 209 in sidelocks or inlines that utilize #11's or musket caps.
One would think that using a partial load of BH 209 would be cleaner than using a full load of a dirtier powder if it could be ignited reliably.

I'm new here and registered just to post this: I appreciate what the OP is doing here.

About seven years ago, I purchased a Savage 10MLII (legal where I live) and haven't touched 'smoky' powder since then.

Two things have made me change that: one, I got bored, and two, I had a successful elk hunt this year, and noted that I could do it again next year if I was willing to go during (cheaper) blackpowder season.

So earlier this week I received a Green Mountain LRH barrel (the carbine, it was on sale for Christmas last week) and a used (barrel all rusted) T/C Renegade.

I'm now pondering where to start, dreading the hassle of cleaning up after black powder (or T7 or whatever) and this thread was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!

I wasn't, a guy i dont know was. His buddy claimed it wasn't double loaded??????? But who really knows.

Refering back to your previous post ,I know a guy who knows a guy,whose cousins brother in law was standing 50 yards from Tony when the Savage blew up.He also swears it was not double loaded.I am waiting for hard copy to prove his claim.All this highschool stuff is making me queasy,I think I will go away for a while,in hopes some of you can grow up.
