I've shot pyrodex (3 kinds) plus pellets of 2 kinds, Goexx (real black powder, not a substitute) and now blackhorn 209. It's as expensive as the dickens. But it cleans easier, and shoots more accurately than anything else I've fired in a muzzleloader. It's made for inlines, so don't plan on stuffing it in your Hawken or hand made fowler with the swamped barrel, but for inlines it's the stuff.
In several different inlines, I've found that 120 grains of BH209, a shotgun primer, and 300 gr sabots (T/C or Hornady) will stay inside a sheet of notebook paper @ 200 yards with boring regularity. While I'm not suggesting this as a 200 yard load, I don't having any doubt of a one shot hit at that range. (Just not personally sure about remaining velocity/energy/killing power).
Have any of y'all tried it? I think it's about $40 a can locally, and I think a can is only about 10-12 oz vs 16. Still, the stuff is magic for hunting.
