Blackhor 209 and CCI 209 Magnum primers out of my TC G2 .45 with Precision Rifle 195 grain .357 sabots.Killers!

Have you been able to use this on elk as well?
Thanks

If you check the BH209 site under FAQ's, you'll see that Western states: "We have experienced the best performance, consistency and accuracy with CCI 209M and Federal 209A." FAQs << Blackhorn 209
Both the CCI209M and Federal 209A are magnum primers.
Stay within the recommended charges.

Thanks for the correction. I will edit my post as not to mislead others.

Nope I live in Upstate NY no Elk here. I don’t think my ml would qualify out there. I have a Nikon Monarch Gold 1.5-6 in Talley Mounts. It sure kills Whitetails though.

Mainly answered this post re: BH 209 & CCI magnum primers.

I shoot the same rifle with two triple seven magnum pellets and either the hornady 250g sst or barnes 250g tmz with a standard 209 primer. Easily shoots sub moa at 200 yards.

I am going to try the blackhorn with the CCI 209m primer (bought the 209 breech plug). If I can't shoot near the max charge weight and maintain accuracy I might stick with the pellets. Not a big deal to swab the bore after a couple of shots and the pellets are so convenient and are accurate at max velocity in my rifle.

Only ever shot sabots out of my accura. Colorado Muzzy tag= no sabots. What's everyone running when you cant use sabots?

BH 209 converts from volumetric to weight at 70%, so 100 gr by volume is 70 grains weighed. BH209 is more energetic than Pyrodex, so 120 gr BH209 is a max load in most rifles.

I use a 290 Barnes TMZ with the standard hard to load sabot. I tried the harvester crush rib but run through a chrono they were inconsistent on velocity, indicating that I was getting a good gas seal on some and not so good on others. This showed up at longer ranges as vertical stringing. The TMZ sabots are a pain to load, but extremely consistent.

I weigh charges, and put them in sealed plastic test tubes until used.

I don't clean between shots with BH209, you want an ash ring to form if you read their literature. After a 20 shot string I can still load fine.

I use a #32 machinist drill bit turned by fingers to clean out my flash channel after each shot, and a torch tip cleaner to clean out the flash hole.

It's some kind of fun ringing a gong at 300 with a ML, though I wouldn't shoot game anywhere near that far.

My accura likes hornady FPB. Very consistent 1" or less groups @ 100 with 95-100 grains/volume BH 209. Haven't shot past 100 yards, but tried less/more powder and the groups weren't as consistent.

85 grains by weight of 209 and a 250 SST. 5" groups at 300 no problem.
