Blackhorn 209 Testing

Been testing Blackhorn 209 Powder for hunting season. Had delay fire problems to start with, but after changing to Magnum 209 Primers, the problem was fixed.

I've heard that the breech plugs of some inlines have trouble igniting it.
What rifle model do you have?

I shoot B209 in my Knight Disc with CCI mag primers & all is fine. I get 1950 fps with 120 grns B209 & a 250 grn Hornady SST.
