Spent the afternoon at the range trying Blackhorn 209 and was VERY impressed!!! I have an Encore Endeavor with a Nikon BDC scope. I used 120 gr. with Hornady 250gr. SST bullets. Groups looked great at 100yds but decided to give 200yds a try. I shot 12 rounds at 50 and 100yds without cleaning. This is the 13th, 14th, and 15th rounds @ 200yds...again, without even running a patch down the barrel:
I decided to quit while I was ahead! It only took 4 patches down the barrel to clean it up!! The only bad thing about this powder so far is that it's not as easy to deal with as pellets, but with consistancy, and ease of cleaning, I can deal with it!
