Blackhorn powder is unreliable

Primer choice
Incompatible breech plug design
Blackhorn powder is mysterious
Too little powder
Cold temperature
Dirty barrel
Blackhorn powder is inconsistent
Too much powder

Choices, 2,3 and 4. Eliminate those and you will love it!

I agree on #2,3 and 4 but I think you need to add dirty breech plug to your list as a culprit.:)

I just voted, the first vote it appears. Unfortunately there are a number of things that can cause poor and/or unreliable ignition IMO.:)

Think I would really need to agree with you... There is a learning curve when moving from BP & BP subs. Since BH is really a nitro smokeless/progressive burning powder you have to apply a different thought process to shooting it reliably every time. Once the curve is mastered most of your BH issues will be solved.

Blackhorn is very sensitive, and has feelings. If you don't love it, it won't work for you.

I was looking for "What ignition issues? "

My only FTF was using T7 primers which were weakend in an attempt to avoid the Crud Ring. All other priners have never failed.

I have no Blackhorn ignition issues. Maybe that's because I pretty much only use GOEX. :s2:
