I'd go with Black Horn 209, you'll never regret it. 90-110 gr. work very well.

Blackhorn209, cci 209m primers and about 90gr powder. Mine shot well with the 270 platinums and that set up.

Thanks for the help. I wanted to get your guy's input. I will look for some. If I had the opportunity to get pyrodex rs powder or white hot pellets which one do you guy's would work best til I find blkhorn 209? Thanks Bill

pyrodex rs, my .45 Knight really loves it, 90 grs in the .45 were the most accurate for me.

yep i second Pyrodex RS. A very good consistent powder.

80-100gr is where i'd be trying some loads out.

Thanks, Whats differnt is when I frist got from the guy he said he and cva shot white hots. I didn't have any at the time I had pyrodex rs powder. I ve heard how accurate tis thing was so I couldn't wait so I took it to the range with the pyrodex rs powder. shot it at 50 yards with a new bushnell 3x9x40 xlt doa trophy and was swabing after each shot and was shooting a raged one hole group. I got the the white hots in and took it back to the range and went to 100 yards and thought it would shot the same but I was not swabing between shots but swabing every 3 shots and it shot fair to good. I was hoping for more like the 50 yard target. Thats what started this question. I also like the idea of the pellets but it seems like the powder form shoot better. Thanks Bill

Loose powder seems to be more consistent. I get the feeling that pellets don't burn completely.
