well for the last time, no matter what you think you know, i am not endeavorshooter (but, he might be my brother in law).
but either way, i don't see a disagreement about the triumph being blow back free.

Granted I've only shot one Triumph. But I worked up several loads for it and both the STS and CCI MAG had blowback. By no means was it bad, but it was present. It shot great so I don't know that it really matters.

definitely no disagreement there. . My triumph is blowback free or at least it seems that way when compared to my NFPJ guns. I havent shot it for 3 years but it is a great shooter and if Knight was smart they would offer a gun along that lines to compete with it.My Prohunter is a great gun also. I like you got a good one. No hinge pin problems and great accuracy, although the Mountaineer makes the trigger on my encore seem pretty bad. If I just shoot the pro hunter i get used to it and dont think about it but if i shoot the mountaineer for a while then it is big time noticeable

Four out of five of my Triumphs have been sent back to T/C for other reasons. The 5th one i had sabotloader has and i never shot it. They are very good but not blow back free by any means at all. I have never shot a Muzzleloader that is 100% blow back free.

You may be right, but if i am not getting hit in the face with it, it is blow back free to me. I have never had blow back hit me while shooting it from my prohunter or my triumph.
This would also include the Mountaineer however, i am having another issue with it.

The Triumph has a speed breech. The gun wont even close if you back it off a little. Take a look at the plug online and you will learn why it needs to be tight by dessign. Actually a pretty good safety feature as well.
