If BH 209 went off the market. I'd use Pyro. If that went off the market.

I'd shoot a 30-06.

Thats pretty bad then with t7. That's all my uncle and father in law shoot out of their omegas now. My brother in law still uses pyro though. I'm thinking about going smokeless and forgetting about all of it lol.

I've thought about going back to CF about a thousand times. Especially, when i'm shooting a ML during the regular rifle seasons.

Probably won't though. I like blowing clouds of smoke.

Muley Hunter, I know what you mean about smoke. When I was shooting the flintlock today, because of the cold weather and humidity in the air, when the rifle would go off and release the black powder charge.. it was incredible to watch the smoke cloud in front of the shooting bench. Why I enjoy that I do not know.

You'll like this if you like smoke. When I used to shoot in CAS. I considered myself as one of the Warthogs. The goal of a Warthog is to use max loads, and make as much smoke as possible.

This isn't me, but my load and smoke looked the same.

Enjoy.

I have never used any BH before. I hear that BH is not compatable with some muzzleloaders. My question is this I have 4 inlines, rem m700, optima elite, optima, and a White rifle, will any of these rifles shoot Bh well? The rem and white are #11 caps.

I can only comment on the Optimas. They will shoot BH fine if you have a nice tight fit on the primer. You can also buy a BH 209 Breech Plug from CVA.

Primer choice is important with the stock BP. Not so important with the BH BP plug. Any normal 209 primer will work with it.
