I was worried about them pushing the pellets forward with the extra force?They will set off pellets no problem.
I used Pyrodex Pellets for about 20 years. The only propellant until I tried BH209 last year. BH has some benefits but to me the disadvantages wash them out. I like the convenience of pellets. As far as fouling goes, you only shoot a lot of rounds at the range. Hunting, maybe one or two so the "clean" shooting of BH209 presents no real benefit there. Some people say it's more accurate. Maybe. I very rarely shoot out beyond 75 yds. I don't see any benefit there either.They're probably the better choice for pellets. Hotter primer. Just curious about why you would use the pellets when Blackhorn is the best black powder sub out there.
I have tried pellets, not a big fan but that's just me.
To say one powder or the other is more accurate is a reckless statement. Each gun is unique to itself and will like or not like certain powders.Some people say it's more accurate. Maybe.
Never had pellets setting around that long with my Ultimate. I'd go through 5 CASES a yearI also have used the pellets for years in my Ultimate. When on sale, I'd scoop up some T7 50s and 30s up for a rainy day. Unfortunately, even though they remained sealed and dry for a few years, I did notice some velocity inconsistencies from when the same lot/batch was new. My pre-kitted speed loaders were all over the target, except where I was aiming. 0Pellet edges would crumble and the color would change from dark to lighter grey. I ended up scrapping out several boxes to err on the side of caution. Maybe it's just me, but I do believe the pellets should be bought fresh each season for that same season. I also believe they should be checked to ensure they're not sitting in some warehouse for multiple years. Just my $0.02 USD.
I take it you might have shot with RJ, KJ, Rambo and company...?Never had pellets setting around that long with my Ultimate. I'd go through 5 CASES a year

Good idea. Can' hurt.I vacuum pack bulk power, pellets, primers, shells, all ammo when I get it. Especially slugs. I'm not smart enough to come in out of the rain. I either seal a note inside or permanent marker outside.
That's funny.. I purchased my first Ultimate (BP Express w/ Thumbhole) from you at your house on the lake. I also came by your place one night because of light primer strikes. Had to remind you the barrel was charged before you could set it off in your garage. Prevented you from accidentally shooting your wife's car that evening. I think that was 2004. Time sure flies by. I bought the 40X from RJ and KJ at Howell a few years later.I am Rambo LOL
Yes, I've shot a ton through the BP Xpress. Ken and I used to go to lunch quite often when I was driving back and forth down below to see family. Quite honestly, I need to stop in and see how the old boy is doing now. IIRC he's 80 or 81 now. Last we talked his health wasn't good at all Since my mom passed, I don't get down state much any more.
My average usage of T7M pellets amounted to 5 cases a year. Ken was the first person to tell me about Friendship and the NMLRA. Heck, I've shot muzzleloaders since "73" and up until Ken told me, I never knew a thing about Friendship or the NMLRA. I made a couple matches and Friendship is a beautiful range.
Ya got it wrong there and I was only kidding about the Rambo thing.That's funny.. I purchased my first Ultimate (BP Express w/ Thumbhole) from you at your house on the lake.
