I was an active hunter, including MZ, for several years. I am thinking about returning to it. Interested in updating my knowledge of MZ hunting.
 
:welcome:To the group. There’s more knowledge here than I can absorb. Enjoy!
 
Welcome back to the wonderful world of hunting and muzzleloaders!
 
Welcome Carl. Greg in Charles Town here. Great forum here for front end loaders. Has saved me alot of experimenting time.
 
I am a bit unsure about the new powder selection. I use to use Tripe 7, two fifty grain pellets behind a t/c sabot in my .50 cal. Encore. I am reading posting about BlackHorn 209 powder and smokeless powder. It would appear that the Black Horn powder requires a nipple conversion to a 209 Shotgun cao. Is that correct?
 
Yes you will need to change to a 209 primer to shoot Blackhorn. You Do Not want to try shooting Smokeless Powder in your rifles. Smokeless can only be shot in rifles rated for it.
 
Hello I'm in Cecil county if you are using a encore you can use blackhorn 209 no problems that is all I use in my encore
