Concerning Blackhorn 209 powder. Some pots calling the kettle black here. This was all hashed out back in 2015ish and several times since. Prior to that, everyone knew the posted grain charges were by VOLUME, the INDUSTRY STANDARD. The long range target shooters were given their own forum 5...

Exactly! I use digital measuring equipment every day at work, but it's precision top of the line world class equipment, and calibrated frequently. It's fast and easy, but we still have old school mechanical backups, because they never lie to you. Some of the measuring equipment is battery...

Looks like you have it under control. If those tubes in the ammo boxes with the orange caps are the Blackhorn 209 tubes, don't rely on the markings on those. They are about 10 grains off after the powder settles. Looks like you are about 110 grains by VOLUME. That is probably one of the most...

If you use any Volumetric powder measure with a plastic hopper, powder measure, drop tube as well as plastic storage vials/tubes, make sure to remove all static cling first. Just wipe the inside of all plastic with fabric softener sheet. Roll it up tight to get inside the measures, tubes, and...

Everybody is overlooking one big thing. They are not even considering that their scale may not be accurate, calibrated. The Volumetric powder measure is going to be the same every time. What type of scale are you using? Your powder measure needs to be relieved of static cling. You can see the...

Have you got a picture? It's been 30 years since I've seen one, but IIRC it had a barrel insert that screwed in, in place of the breech plug. That's about all I can remember.

Looks like a good BULLET for the kids with a reduced load. What happens with 80 Volumetric grains of powder?

This was ONE of the several times we have hashed this out. Bestill had most of the information right in front of him last July. The picture of his data has went AWOL, but the numbers were published and discussed. Most will eventually come around, but not all. Here is a spirited one from last...

Exactly why I don't participate much on here anymore. I did a ton of Blackhorn 209 testing and research back in 2008 and 2009 especially. Even posted some of it here. For the average hunter shooting out to 200 yards or so, it don't make one whit of difference. This has all been discussed...

Wait for it............... ........... it's always the same VOLUME! Has been since 2008. I haven't weighed a Blackhorn 209 charge since I figured this out way back in 2008, and later proved to myself after chronographing loads through 2009. You just need to be able to...

Yeah, they went fast. You can't buy plinkers for that price. I don't use them, but obviously some here do, or will be.

Here is the actual Facebook post when they put them on sale. Don't think there is any need to be nervous. That is a great price on those bullets.

They are a legit brick and mortar, but have currently shut their storefront down because of COVID-19. They are closed on Saturday and Sunday. I haven't ordered anything from them in several years, but they were good back then. According to their Facebook page, they are still taking online...

I actually prefer the White, but both shoot dense patterns. I'm actually going to take my gobbler this year with a .410 bore, using TSS #9. Counting my Thunder Chickens before they're dead of course.

Here is another excellent choice. https://godagrip.com/cheek-pads-2/

I've got both the first year 2000 camo Knight TK2000, and a camo stocked White Thunder with all the same things you get with a Tominator. The TK2000 was the first one sent to Michigan. the Thunder has all the chokes the Tominator has, as well as the Ray Eye Video and diaphragm call. My TK2000...

Western Powders has the full breech plug kit, which includes breech plug, o-rings, installation wrench, drill bit, and pin vice. https://www.westernpowders.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=147 The SSK/Lehigh breech plug is the best value, as it has a removable/replaceable vent...

It's also Quebec, which is another world in another world. Oui, oui!

I hunt NW of Lansing in the CWD Core Area, and like Uncle Ted says, it's a.......... .......... Free For All. Sorry, grabbed the wrong live performance. Any legal firearm is allowed in our Muzzleloader Season.
