Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I just got some Blackhorn 209 B-P substitute in to test. Are any of you pards shooting this stuff? I assume it works OK with smokeless lubed bullets? Anything I ought to watch out for?
Black Tooth Zach Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I've never messed with it - I've always heard that it is not SASS legal because it is a duplex powder. I found this thread that contains a test fire report.
Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It's not a legal powder to use as a BP sub since it's a nitrocellulose smokeless powder with sulfur and potassium nitrate added to create smoke on firing. That way it gives the illusion of being a BP sub. Besides being banned from SASS, it's also been banned in New Mexico during the muzzleloading season there. They weren't fooled either.
John Boy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Anything I ought to watch out for? Mike,yes. Don't get caught using it for CAS. It is 100% SASS Illegal See no reason why it can't be shot with smokeless lubed bullets. It's nitro based powder
