Thanks guys. This is the first one with Blackhorn 209. Michigan has had single digit tempuratures, warm ups, rain, sleet, ice, snow, etc... Add to this that I had shot and simply reloaded without swabbing and I was curious to see if the powder would ignite. This is the first powder I have every tried as I have always been a pellet user. I am very happy with Blackhorn 209, even though I do not customize loads as much as some.

I was also impressed with the damage the TC shockwave did. I doubt I will ever find the bullet, but I did not see any evidence fragmentation. It went through the shoulder bone, destroyed a couple ribs, took out the heart and made a straight path out the other side. Heart looked like a hotdog bun. I am not sure I could ask for more from a bullet. I really want to try the Barnes line, but have to try and justify that when I have a bunch of the TC shockwaves and they are so accurate in both of my setups.
