Blackhorn209 QRBP
 
Got my first experience with it today! I ran out of BH209 so i loaded up speed loaders with 100gr American Pioneer 2f and headed out with the 250gr Powerbelt Aerolite to sight in the Konuspro 275 scope.

First thing i noticed, ZERO crud ring with the BH209 plug and Winchester W209 primers! I mean NO crud at all. Super easy loading. I pulled the plug and the rifling was all clean as well with no signs of baked on residue.

What gives?!! The original flat face QRBP gives me a bad crud ring with American Pioneer.

Really? I never tried it with anything but BH. Do you have any T7?

MountainDevil54 11-23-2011 10:03 AM

Just pellets and no store has any T7 is stock.

She shot good off my wobbly table! I got her dead center with the 75 yard line in the scope.

Pellets give a crud ring no? Give them a try.

Try some Thors.

bad crud ring. I cant shoot them with the BH209 plug though.

Muley Hunter 11-23-2011 10:14 AM

Why not? It's just like the Omega plug, and it works with pellets.

Then again. It's my barrel. Maybe you shouldn't. :p

exactly LOL.

I tried APP powder in several TC guns including Triumph and an Omega, I shot it for 2 years and never had a residue problem of any sort. I finally decided to give up on it as it was difficult to measure with a volume measure and when it attracted some moisture it was very erratic and I live and shoot on the down wind side of Greers Fairy lake which is a 44 thousand acre lake so the humidity here is high all year round.
Evidently the efficiency of the breach plug makes a difference in the residue as the only powder that is really nasty to clean here is 777 and there are only a few who don't have difficulty with crud ring.
