- Designed for standard 209 shotshell primers
- Loads are measured by volume, like black powder
- Weigh charges by multiplying the volume load by 0.7
- Clean with oil-based solvents, not water-based cleaners
- Not offered in pellet form
Blackhorn 209 is a muzzleloading propellant made for modern in-line rifles with sealed ignition systems. The manufacturer says it is loaded by volume, measured like black powder, and is designed to leave a thin soot film rather than solid or sticky residue, so a barrel can be swabbed after use. It is built around standard 209 shotshell primers, and the maker names CCI 209M and Federal 209A as its best performers.
It is not offered in pellet form, and it is not strong enough to be ignited by #11 percussion caps or musket caps. Clean with oil-based solvents rather than water-based cleaners.
