Primers for Blackhorn 209

[sabotloader]

Do you know if those W209 primers will work with the Knight Ultralite? Using the BH powder.

That is what I use in my U-Lites. They have worked very well for me

Winchester, CCI, CCI magnum , federal & cheddite is all I’ve tried and they all work just fine.

What bullet would you recommend for hunting elk? I am looking to choose between the Thor Hammer 300 grain which are non-saboted, and the Barnes Spit-fire TMZ 250 grains (the highest grain available right now). Also, thank you for your reply about the W209 primers.

These work for me.

Wait a couple of months SSK may be coming out with a couple of new sabotless solid Brass bullets that should really do the trick,

Yes I’ll definitely try those out when they come out. They look really good. I am just not patient at the moment and want to get setup with a hunting load this season for elk. Will be first year muzzle loading. Recently got the ultralite and researching about others with ultralites in what works for them. Have you tried or heard about any of the two bullets I mentioned in the previous reply? Especially for the ultralite.

I’ve never owned a Knight but the 300 gr Thors are a great choice for elk. I’d shoot the Barnes in a 290 grain - a 250 in any muzzy bullet is too light to be ideal for elk, IMO.

Midway has the 290 T-ez in stock right now:

Sabotloader,

I am new to muzzleloading and need some advice.

I have an older original Knight 45 caliber Super Disc with 1:20 twist fluted barrel with new Lehigh BP and Conversion kit for bare primers.

I want to set up my ML to shoot whitetail deer at ranges up to 200 yds. Something that is simple, accurate and reliable for a notice like myself.

Question: What bullets, powder, loads and primers work best for my setup? What are the ballistics for these?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I reload 410 28 20 and 12 ga ammo. I use Winchester primers in my cva.
I use a ton of cheddite primers in my shotguns reloading. Here when 209 was hard to find. People started finding Cheddite and liked them. Thats one thing i will buy. If there on sale somewhere 209's.
