I have a Thompson Center Pro Hunter FX that was shooting great, until I tried Blackhorn.... All I've heard is how great it is so I wanted to give it a try. I was shooting Triple se7en pellets before and had no issues with accuracy or even much build up at all in the barrel. I read and bought everything recommended from Blackhorns website, their powder, solvents, etc. I cleaned my barrel with their solvents first before my first range trip. The powder was measured by weight on a scale (70gr). At the range I used a cci 209m primer with a barnes tmz bullet. I was careful to make sure the bullet was seated correctly as well. After my first shot I unscrewed the breech plug and looked down the barrel. It left my barrel looking like I smeared tar down it. After several clean, shoot repeats of the same result, I took it home. The gun and breech recieved a thorough cleaning with the BH solvents and I went back to the range. After this trip I had the same result. So the only thing I could think of was try a new breech plug. I contacted TC customer support and they weren't much help besides the "hmm it should work fine with BH, it's not the breech plug", so I bought a brand new breech plug anyway to try. After I tried the new breech plug, still the same results! So I gave up and went back to the Triple se7en. Cleaned with my normal TC stuff, used my normal Kleanbore primers, put my original breech plug back in, etc like I always have. Now after I shoot Triple se7en, I get the same tar smeared barrel. After a few swear words and a calm down period.,I'm now at a loss what to do now. The only thing I could do is buy another pack of primers and more powder.....I don't get how those could be bad because I just bought them. What am I missing here???
