ALL DONE

Well the 105 gr of BH209 shows some promise. Too bad you didn't try some gool old FFg black powder as another test. That's a lot of shooting for one day. Good report. Keep it up.

Are you thinking about hunting with that bullet Pluckit?

Looks like your gun likes Blackhorn 209. Was that the JSG Super Powder? Looks like it grouped similar to when I tried it.

bronko22000,
I had some Goex with me but I never gave it a thought. That was a long shooting session as it was. After the last taget with Pyrodex and the second shot being a flier like that I kind of said that's going to be good enough with 2 out of three in the red.

Semisane,
Those were the discontinued Speer's I picked up not too long ago. I only have a few left so I won't be hunting with them. I was just having some fun playing with the different powders and shooting the Wolf. That's only the second time I've taken the Wolf to the range. So I wanted to spend some time with it, and that's the bullet I decided to go with to keep that part of the shoot consistent.

Omega45,
With the Blackhorn 209 on target #4 the aimpoint was the bulls eye.
On target 5 The aim point was adjusted to compensate for how high the Blackhorn was shooting. So I was aiming at the bottom of the target on #5. And yes, that was the Jim Shokey's Gold Super powder. I felt when I seated the bullet on that powder that you could really feel the powder compress a lot. Maybe A person needs a better way to gauge the seating pressure than just guessing like I did.
The one thing I found about the powder was how little fouling there was. It seemed to burn very clean.

There are some real good groups there. I have some of them 225 grain and 270 grain Speer bullets. They are good shooters for the most part. I will have to break them out and shoot off some.

Were you swabbing the barrel almost clean between powder changes? I have found that it makes a difference in the shots. Good range report there.

For all powders accept for the Blackhorn 209, I cleaned the bore after every shot. And I'm sure you know, that makes for a long range session. For the blackhorn 209, I cleaned the bore after each new target was put up.

To me it seems that cleaning the flame channel of the breech plug, is far more important, than cleaning the barrel, whilst using BH209. However, i must admit, i never clean nuthin' when shooting paper.

I did clean the flame channel once in between targets when shooting Blackhorn. That's some crusty stuff. It may have been when I was changing from blackhorn 209 to another powder. I didn't make a note of it unfortunately and I really don't remember when it was.

i'd ditch those w209 primers and use the cci 209 mags with blackhorn

I need to pick some up. Is it an accuracy thing? Because I had no ignition problems.

yes its an accuracy thing. The cci mags have been the most accurate for me. I tried some italian brand primers and accuracy went to being horrible.
