Need recommendations on Electric Powder dispenser that is safe for Blackhorn 209.

[solocam]

Hi, I currently have an RCBS 1500 combo electric powder dispenser and was told by RCBS that it is not safe for Black powder because of static electricity.
Does Blackhorn 209 come under that or is it safe to use the RCBS 1500 combo?
What is a safe electric powder measure for Blackhorn 209?

Please Advise
R/Michael

Somehow black powder or anything else gun powder and electric tools don't sound like a good idea.

I have an old Lyman 1200 Electronic Dispenser. What I do is calibrate the dispenser on powering it up. Then I use my TC Volumn measure to get as close to the charge I'm looking for. Then I pour it into the pan and with a manual trickler, trickle the powder until I get the desired weight.

Isn't Blackhorn more of a smokeless powder tricked down to qualify as a blackpowder substitute? I would think that would tilt the conversation back against static, and blackpowder.

Something to ponder

Blackpowder vs Stun Gun

I've used both an rcbs and Lyman to dispense bh209.i wouldn't use it for black powder though.

It is mainly nitrocellulose with some corrosive oxiders added to it to help regulate its burn rate. (Guanidine Nitrate)

It does not clean up with water-based solvents due to this fact.

Therefore, it is actually a hybrid powder.

Ive used the RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 Combo with BH209 for years. Its fine. Even Western says you can use auto dispensing devices.

I also use an RCBS Chargemaster setup. I feel perfectly safe doing so.

Most all of the black powder cartridge guys use the electric powder drops and scales. I do. Black or 209.
