Have any of you NOT yet shot and hunted with Blackhorn 209?
While a few other so-called
"black powder substitutes" have claimed to be the
powder that revolutionizes muzzleloading - this is the only black powder
substitute that truly lives up to the claim. This report takes a look back at
the accelerated evolution of muzzleloading from the late 1830's and on into the
1860's - then shares how this modern formulated powder has done more today for
modern in-line ignition rifles than any other product during the past 25 years
of in-line muzzleloading.
The article/report published at this link
takes a look at the 25 to 30 year period prior to the Civil War...and how
muzzleloading went through a very stepped up evolution as rifle makers and
shooters refined the elongated conical bullet...fast twist bore bullet
rifles...and telescopic rifle sights (a.k.a. "rifle scopes"). Muzzleloading has
gone through a similar stage of evolution during the past 25 to 30 years - with
the popularity of the modern in-line ignition rifles...introduction of the
saboted muzzleloader bullets...and the development of several black powder
substitutes.
This article/report features the
exceptionally accurate Dixie Gun Works reproduction of the hexagonal bore
Whitworth long range rifle...the well made Leatherwood/Hi-Lux Optics copy of a
circa 1855 Wm. Malcolm rifle scope...the superb accuracy of the .50 caliber
Traditions VORTEK Ultra Light LDR in-line ignition rifle...and of course
Blackhorn 209. Check out all of the qualities and benefits this powder brings to
today's muzzleloading hunter.
If any of you are attending the NRA Show in
Houston, TX this coming weekend, be sure to drop by the Leatherwood/Hi-Lux
Optics booth and say hello. I'll be working the show with them. Also, the good
folks from Blackhorn 209 will be at the show as well...look them up if you have
any questions about the powder.
