209 primers
« on: August 18, 2009, 03:57:25 PM »
Just picked up blackhorn209 was wondering what primers work well with this stuff.Here in S.A. Tex. it's between 100-and hotter than hell so will different primers work different say between 50-32 degree weather.Planning on hunting with the black powder this year. THANKS

I am shooting smokeless powder in the Savage.
I use Winchester W209 primers, these are regular Winchester shotgun primers.
Smokeless is harder to ignite than black powder.
I have fired this rifle in sub freezing weather and it has always fired fine, so I assume the Winchester primers would work well with the Blackhorn. I never have used any Blackhorn so can't say for sure.
Aim small don't miss.
