High Performance Muzzleloading PropellantFor modern muzzleloaders and black powder cartridge

The only muzzleloadingpropellant that lets you takecharge of your accuracy.

Another revolutionary product from Western Powders, Inc.

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. 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 AccuracyAt 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. Noncorrosive and Low ResidueBlackhorn 209 is the first and only noncorrosive muzzle- loading 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 ShotsTight-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 RemovalBlackhorn 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 PrimerUse only standard 209 shotshell primers. We recommend Winchester, CCI, Cheddite, Federal or Remington STANDARD 209 shotshell primers.

Not Affected by Temperature or HumidityBlackhorn 209 is non-hygroscopic. Changes in temperature or humidity do not affect its performance. Immediate Cleaning Not NecessaryBlackhorn 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 SolventsAfter 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 LifeIn contrast to other muzzleloading propellants, Blackhorn 209 will remain consistent and reliable for an extended period of time if stored properly.

IGNITION SYSTEMBlackhorn 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 RECOMMENDATIONSBelow 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.

Recommended Recommended Recommended NOT Recommended

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.

USE STANDARD 209 SHOTSHELL PRIMERS Blackhorn 209 is designed to work with standard 209 shotshell primers. We recommend the following brands: • Winchester • CCI • Federal • Cheddite • Remington

We DO NOT recommend any special muzzleloading primers, #11, musket, or high-powered rifle primers.

DO NOT USE THESE PRIMERS: • #11 Percussion Cap • Musket Cap • Rifle or pistol primers • Remington Kleenbore Muzzleloading Primers • Winchester Triple Se7en Muzzleloading Primers • CCI MZL Primers • Federal Fusion 209 Muzzleloading Primers

Blackhorn 209 is not suitable for sidelock muzzleloaders.

*Velocity (fps at Charge Volume indicated)

SUPERIOR BALLISTIC PERFORMANCEThe highest accuracy is obtained when using a tight- fitting 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.

YES NO

NO CRUD RINGBlackhorn 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 tight- fitting bullet/sabots without swabbing the barrel between shots. Minimal fouling also makes it easy to remove the breech plug.

Some powders leave a nasty crud ring (solid residue) in the barrel that makes it difficult to load a tight- fitting bullet/sabot or remove the breech plug.
