Doesn't the breech area has to be exposed or something like that?
No breech loading guns allowed. Must be through the muzzle only.Doesn't the breech area has to be exposed or something like that?
Blackhorn209 is completely legal in Colorado.
Dwayne,Blackhorn is a nitro based powder. Not a black powder or black powder substitute.
I am really confused now, because i talked to a ranger about 3 weeks ago on this very subject. I was only parroting what he said. He stopped to check me for my fishing license alongside the Arkansas river.Dwayne,
Perhaps you are confused... Blackhorn209 is a Muzzle loader approved, black powder substitute. it is legal to use in Colorado to take came during the muzzle loading seasons. Also 209 primers are legal for taking game in Colorado Muzzle loader hunts (Blackhorn209 requires full powered or magnum 209 primers to ignite reliably).
Blackhorn209 however is not very forgiving or good if the powder isn't sealed by the projectile -before- the ignition is started... nor will it work with percussion caps...
Most folks use Sabots to seal the powder column when they use Blackhorn 209... but as Colorado doesn't allow sabots for hunting during muzzle loader season, there are other ways to seal projectiles before ignition... so Blackhorn209 is -legally- an option in Colorado. Will it work with your gun and bore riding (non saboted bullets) is the question...
That may be what is confusing you... perhaps you are confused about it not working with all bore riders... but it certainly is a legal muzzle loader black powder substitute.
However, there are many ways to get that powder column sealed (mostly putting some sort of a wad on top between the powder and the projectile) that you can search and read about here on this forum.
