New Sub Powder???
« on: December 08, 2007, 12:34:44 PM »
Triple Seven posted some information about this new powder "Blackhorn 209"  - It was test by Toby but have not seen anything else about it yet.

I did a search for "Western Powders" and it turns out they are the new owners of "Accurate Powders" and located in Miles City, Montana.... but anyway info sounds interesting....

Here is the beginning paragraph...

Quote
  Western Powders, of Miles City, MT is about to take modern in-line muzzleloader performance to yet another new level.  At the 2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas this coming February, the company will unveil an all new muzzleloader propellant that has been specifically developed to produce optimum velocities and energy levels with today's popular No. 209 primer ignition in-line rifle models.  And it does it with lower peak pressure levels than produced by today's widely used 150-grain black powder substitute pellet charges.

Sounds good. I might try it. It still seems like it has a new problems about the amount it has to be compressed.
The sportsman lives his life vicariously. For he secretly yearns to have lived before, in a simpler time. A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life. It would be his state of mind

Sounds like a winner. I just hope it don't turn out to be another Blackmag3. Also suppose to be a good powder, but try to get it. I hope they market this stuff right.

Not available until after the Shot Show in February. Should have better distribution as Western/Accurate powders already have a distribution network established. This one looks awfully good at this time. Now if they can just keep the price reasonable.
