I am trying to decide on powders. I know Pyrodex RS Select is on the top of my list. But I have questions about BH209. I have a CVA Buckhorn 209 (my first muzzy), correct me if I am wrong but the Buckhorn is a "plunger"style muzzleloader. How I am understanding it is the BH209 is not recommended for "plunger" style rifles. Why? What about the plunger rifle makes BH209 not a viable powder? Is it unsafe? What will be the reaction if I use the BH209 in my Buckhorn. I've read quite a bit about it but nothing that actually states what will happen if used. What I do know is that the powder charge is less than if I were using Pyrodex RS. Can someone shed some light on this subject.
Do you own a buckhorn (or any other "plunger" style rifle and use BH209?
