WTT T/C Encore Pro Hunter .50
Looking to trade my Encore muzzleloader. Overall condition is excellent cosmetically and functionally- bore is mirror shiny and action locks up like a bank vault. Round count is under 20. Currently wears a Burris Fullfield 3-9x40 in Leupold rings and the matching one piece base, which can all be...- OXN939

WTB .30-30 Lever
Looking for a budget friendly .30-30 lever rifle a la '94 Ranger, Sears and Roebuck, or an older Marlin 336. Doesn't need to be in museum perfect cosmetic condition as long as function and bore are good to go. AE Winchesters preferred. Shoot me a PM if you've got one collecting dust! Thanks in...- OXN939

Post pics of deer with known main beam and G2 length.
Yeah you sure did... if there is any point when I even consider passing a buck like that for the tiniest fraction of a second, I'll be doing pretty well in life. Don't happen to have a picture of your granddad's buck, do you? Super cool story! -
Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
Sure thing! These are all yours, various levels of full. Two ways we can work it. You can either pay for my HAZMAT shipping license and the shipping costs and they'll be headed your way. Or, if anyone is in SE VA, I'll be happy to meet up with you. Sure isn't. Wrong primer, misfire. Wrong...- OXN939

Deer hunters and sunscreen?
Buff would be my first option. As mentioned above, a lot of sunscreens are really much worse for you than a bad sunburn and contain carcinogenic chemicals that readily cross the blood-brain barrier. It's been noted for decades that fishing lures contaminated with sunscreen catch fewer fish...- OXN939

Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
I fired it once this year to confirm zero. Cleaned it and put it away, then loaded two days ago. I shoot a completely differrnt rifle for western hunts, since I can use a scope here in VA. Use Triple seven in that setup because of the potential *ignition reliability issues* with Thors. Bottom...- OXN939

Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
Yeah I had one the first season I used it which was 2018. That was in my T/C Encore. Didn't like that so switched to my CVA and got the Blackhorn specific breech plug. That worked great for two years. Then I had another hangfire just like what happened to me today when I was verifying zero on my...- OXN939

Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
Took one charge from this jug of powder in '21, which I killed a deer with actually from the same stand where this just happened. Closed it, put it in a climate controlled safe with all my other components. I would be willing to bet my life that nothing contaminated the powder. I use the...- OXN939

Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
Sweet. I used it successfully for 5 years, just like you demo in your videos. Then this happened. Take whatever you want from this. I don't want anyone else to experience what just happened to me.- OXN939

Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
Read post #2. The breech plug was clean. I've been doing the 1/8th drill bit deal after every range for years. There was no oil in the flash hole or flash channel. I would bet my life that there is nobody out there hunting with a meaningfully cleaner setup than the one that just experienced...- OXN939

Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
To get ahead of any questions. Blackhorn specific breech plug, magnum 209 primer per Western Powders' recommendation. Sabot seated fully. Flash channel cleaned with drill bit, flash hole cleaned with torch tip cleaner. Bore clean and swabbed with bare dry patch before loading. Blackhorn jug was...- OXN939

Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me
I am still in my stand right now, trying to collect myself. I started using BH209 when it came out after reading reports it was super clean. Tried it, went fairly well, had a misfire or two over the years but tweaked enough things and ran enough ranges to convince myself it was good to go...- OXN939

Lost First Deer
Man I honestly wouldn't call anything you did wrong. You had a relatively close shot, waited before starting to track, found and followed a trail and ran it down over multiple days over multiple properties. That's the level of effort a careful and ethical outdoorsman puts into a recovery...- OXN939
