[QUOTE="Harold Money jr, post: 5223271, member: 4591"] For the second time I had a load of BLackhorn not go off fully. I have a couple Acura’s and ordered the special breech plugs for use with BH209. I shoot the good 209 primers and keep the flash hole clean. The first was last year on a deer at 50yds, I pulled the trigger, the gun went crack, pop. I literally watched the bullet hit the leaves rolling by the deer. The gun had been loaded from the week before. Last evening I was checking zeroes and used my premeasured loads from last year. The gun went pop and the bullet hit the 20yard plywood that we shoot over to hit the 100yd target. I have some great small plastic test tubes from my pharmacist that seal up perfectly and hold just the right amount of powder. I measure the powder and put it in those tubes immediately and other than carrying in my coat pocket they are stored in an ammo box in a climate controlled closet. I’m pretty concerned, I have a lot of other powder, the issue seems to be when the BH209 is out of the container for a few days. Anybody else have a similar issue? [/QUOTE]
