Several years ago i bought several bottles of Clean Shot pellets. Never got my CVA guns to fire the things right. Ruined a breechplug by drilling it out and the things still would not light. Went to using about five grains of Clean Shot granular powder as an igniter. Two Clean Shot pellets boosted this way were much more powerful than two Pyrodex pellets. Three pellets were just awesome.

stupidity has a way of eventually extracting its own price. Sometimes that is a higher price than it's worth. Sometimes you have to experiment if you want to be on the cutting edge. So it comes down to a couple of different things. For some it is the daring experiments of those on the frontier or for some it equals the fact that young and stupid often go hand in hand.

BH209 isn't approved in a sidelock because it wont go off, not because it would be dangerous. BH209 isn't some magically powerful stuff, it's very comparable to triple 777 which people (myself included) use in sidelocks all of the time. The manufacture likes to claim that BH produces way higher velocities than the competition, but every test that have seen BH is only 10-30 fps faster than the same load of 777, if not less than that.

Do you know for a fact that that is the only reason it is not approved for sidelocks or are you conjecturing that? I know it is not approved for certain inlines and that is not because of ignition problems it is because it blows the 209 primer apart. Ask Cayugad, he has had to dig part of a primer out of his face. So we see it does not act exactly like triple 7, the pressures develop differently.
I shoot them in my bolt action CVA and it loves the stuff. |

In this sue happy world I wonder if you could be held liable if someone blows themself up with a duplex load. maybe you should add a disclaimer. Something like "Don't try this at home. All tests performed by a professional. Please follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of your gun"

Also have a .54 to try it in but with patched round balls. That will be a hoot! |
