New to site and muzzleloading
I have just purchased a TC Triumph the black and Blued model, I Know I will have to take good care of it, are there any products you can recomend for cleaning?What is a good load I should start with I would like to try BH 209 what primers should I use with the BH209?

Welcome to the forum. As for loads.. there are Triumph shooters that I am sure will share their secret loads. That is a great rifle from all I have read on it.

Good deal on the blued barrel. I've been using them since to 50's with no problems.
A load around 100 gr of BH 209 will be good. Some like 110gr, but I feel 100gr will do the job. I like Butch's Bore Shine to clean out BH 209. It has a strong smell, but that stuff doesn't bother me. It also cleans out copper fouling really well. Anyway, have fun here. Lots of smart guys here. Welcome to the forum. |
I use 90 grains of BH209 with a winchester209 primer. As for bullet and sabot combo you have alot of options. I would first use the Harvester Crushed rib sabot. Most Triumphs like them and they are easy to load. As for bullets anything in the .451 or .452 pistol dia. will work. I use the 300 grain XTP MAG, but other use Speer Deep Curl and others. As for cleaning I use the TC17 Products. They seem to do the job really well. With my load I can shot a inch group at 100 and 2 to 2.5 at 200 yards. Topped my off the a Nikon Omega Scope. Havn't looked back yet.

I think very highly of my Triumph. 110 or 120 shoot most sabot loads, normally the Win 209 sold for reloading fits the best and eliminates any blowback around the primer which makes the gun easy to clean if the win 209 fits to tight then the Rem STS. In mine I use the FPB 350 gr Hornady conical with 90 gr it has shot 1 inch groups for me, I use it where I must use a conical. The bullets I get the best groups from are the 200gr Shock Wave 50/40, the 250 gr Lehigh, the 250 gr Shock Wave [I use the bonded for hunting they shoot the same POI as the cheaper yellow tip] and last but far from least is the 250 gr Gold Dot or Deep Curl [name change]. The Triumph shoots a wide range of bullets when set up right but these work best for me.

Dynatek Bore Coat is the best protection against rust & corrosion. Its not an oil but a glue like mixture that you coat your bore, let it sit over night and then fire a total of 40 shots through. This special glue contains particles of Ceramic that embed into the steel of the gun, sealing it up tight from corrosion and rust. Never have to oil the gun again.

The ceramic has to dry over night at least. Once thats all set up you fire 10 shots with copper plated bullets and hot charges, you shoot and get the barrel as hot as possible as it helps set up the ceramic even more. After the 10 shots, fully clean the bore and then just go about firing another 30 shots as you normally do.

http://www.eezox.com/gun-care.html Synthetic EEZOX® Premium Gun Care is a total gun-care system with ONE PRODUCT for all guns. This includes black powder guns.... EEZOX® TEST RESULTS OUTPERFORM GUN OILS The ASTM B 117-5% Salt Spray Fog Test results for Synthetic EEZOX® Premium Gun Care are very conclusive. For test purposes that parallel use in firearms, a very thin film (0.42 to 0.45 mils) of EEZOX® are used. After 192 to 232 hours of rigorous conditions, EEZOX® scored and "Excellent" rating - the highest given. (Mil Spec requires only 100 hours).... Facts You Should Know About Gun Care Lubricants, Cleaners and Rust Preventatives. ....EEZOX® weighs 10.42 pounds per gallon - squirt or spray EEZOX® into a container of water and it will sink to the bottom. This density prevents water from penetrating the thin layer of EEZOX® and from reacting with the metal to form rust. Because of the hydrocarbon oil content of other products, they will "float" on water. Therefore, water penetrates this oil layer and rests on the metal surface. The water then reacts with oxygen and the metal surface to form rust. Our research clearly shows over 75% of gun owners are not satisfied with gun care products presently being used. Compare this to the 98.7% of EEZOX® users who are greatly satisfied.... http://www.eezox.com/gun-care.html |
EEZOX< sold in 39 states, and Maryland isn't one of them. GREAT!

I do believe I will be ordering some of this after reading about it and price is very reasonable.

Another is by Montana Xtreme Products. Called Bore Conditioner. I know Cayguard has started using it and so have I. All my guns now have it coated inside. Just havn't shot any of them yet to see if it works. But Cayguard says it works.
