Blackhorn Bro pg 2

High Performance Muzzleloading Propellant
For modern muzzleloaders and black powder cartridge
The only muzzleloading
propellant that lets you take
charge of your accuracy.
Many manufacturers have made performance claims about their muzzleloading
propellants - and shooters have always been disappointed. NOT ANYMORE!
Blackhorn 209 is the first and only noncorrosive muzzleloading propellant that
delivers the complete satisfaction muzzleloading enthusiasts have been waiting for.

Take charge of your accuracy.
Blackhorn 209 is a revolutionary propellant that is redefining the term “accuracy”
in the muzzleloading industry. When used as directed, this high performance
powder consistently shoots with higher velocities and greater accuracy than
other muzzleloading propellants. Blackhorn 209's proprietary formulation is
engineered to eliminate swabbing and cleaning between shots. Precise accuracy,
higher velocities and ease of use insure Blackhorn 209 will bring out the best
performance in your muzzleloading rifle.
Five shots at 100 yards!
Superior Ballistics and Unbeatable Accuracy
Not Affected by Temperature or Humidity
At volume equivalents, Blackhorn 209 is ballistically
superior to other muzzleloading propellants. It consistently
delivers higher velocities and remarkable accuracy –
something every shooter expects but has rarely
experienced with other propellants. When using Blackhorn
209, your muzzleloader will consistently perform at peak
levels of accuracy. With the industry's lowest standard
deviations and a low pressure-to-velocity ratio, you can
count on Blackhorn 209 for precise performance and
repeatable results.
Blackhorn 209 is non-hygroscopic. Changes in
temperature or humidity do not affect its performance.
Noncorrosive and Low Residue
Blackhorn 209 is the first and only noncorrosive muzzleloading propellant. It is specifically designed to be free of
solid and sticky residues that lead to corrosion with other
propellants. This revolutionary feature also assures that
Blackhorn 209 will not leave a crud ring that can damage
sabots and affect accuracy.
No Swabbing Between Shots
Immediate Cleaning Not Necessary
Blackhorn 209 is noncorrosive and virtually free of solid
residue so there is no need to clean your barrel immediately
after use. Only a thin film of soot remains in the barrel, which
DOES NOT absorb moisture or harm your muzzleloader.
Cleans with Regular Solvents
After using Blackhorn 209, your barrel will clean easily
with standard oil-based cleaning solvents. Using water to
clean your barrel is not required or recommended. We
recommend B209 Cleaning Solvent by Montana X-Treme,
which is specifically formulated for Blackhorn 209.
Extended Shelf Life
In contrast to other muzzleloading propellants, Blackhorn
209 will remain consistent and reliable for an extended
period of time if stored properly.
Tight-fitting sabot/bullet combinations are recommended
to achieve the highest levels of performance. Many
shooters avoid these projectiles due to the difficulty in
loading a second or third round because of residue in
the barrel. With Blackhorn 209, multiple shots can
be easily loaded without the inconvenience of
swabbing the barrel.
Easy Breech Plug Removal
Blackhorn 209's low residue composition allows
breech plugs to be easily removed. While it is not
necessary to remove and clean the breech plug
immediately after use, it is a good practice to
frequently remove all primer fouling from the
breech plug to maintain consistent ignition.
Standard 209 Shotshell Primer
Use only standard 209 shotshell primers. We
recommend Winchester, CCI, Cheddite, Federal or
Remington STANDARD 209 shotshell primers.

IGNITION SYSTEM
SUPERIOR BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE
The highest accuracy is obtained when using a tightfitting sabot/bullet combination in the range of 180 to
300 grains. A well compacted charge promotes
consistent ignition and performance. Blackhorn 209 is
designed to be loaded in volumetric equivalents to
black powder.
CAUTION
• For bullets up to 300 grains DO NOT exceed 120
volumetric units of Blackhorn 209.
• For bullets above 300 grains, DO NOT exceed 100
volumetric units of Blackhorn 209.
• Bullets over 350 grains are not recommended.

Blackhorn 209 propellant is recommended for high
performance muzzleloader rifles with 209 primer ignition
systems where the primer is TOTALLY enclosed. If the
209 primer is not totally enclosed, the ignition flame
may not be properly directed into the propellant charge,
resulting in a misfire or hangfire.
BREECH PLUG RECOMMENDATIONS
Below are the breech plug design recommendations to
follow when using Blackhorn 209 propellant. It is
important to note that some breech plug designs do not
provide suitable ignition for Blackhorn 209.

IMPORTANT: While Blackhorn 209 allows you to take
multiple shots without swabbing the barrel, always
remember that primers will foul the breech plug in any
muzzleloader. To maintain consistency, we recommend
cleaning the primer fouling from the breech plug and
breech plug flash hole if any deterioration in ignition or
accuracy is observed.

NO CRUD RING
Blackhorn 209 is free of solid residues and will not
leave a crud ring in your barrel. This eliminates the
need to swab the barrel between shots.
Blackhorn 209 leaves
minimal fouling in the barrel,
which makes it easy to load
multiple shots with tightfitting bullet/sabots without
swabbing the barrel
between shots. Minimal
fouling also makes it easy to
remove the breech plug.
