Barns TMZ. Grain depends on what your shooting at. BLACKHORN 209.powder.

Elk how many grains of powder?

BUGLEnmIN · May 23, 2018

300 grain Sabot. 120 volume BH 209 you can shoot it much hotter . The loose powder produced more consistency at longer ranges and less to clean after.

Thank you sir, I was reading on another blog about gas cutting the breech with blackhorn 209 have you had any issues?

Found mine to be very accurate (sub 1 ? groups) with the supplied Remington bullets and three triple 7 magnum pellets.(180 grains).
Average speed was 2380 FPS with the 180 grain charge.
It was shooting 7? groups with the 200 grain load of triple 7.
Hope this helps, let us know what load you find works for you. Not much info out there.

Thanks for the information I will keep you posted.

I went out yesterday and got 2260fps and 3" groups at 150 yards with 4 triple 7 50 grain pellets and the remington bullets. I am going to buy the magnum pellets and see how that goes and start pushing the distances.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-01-18 AT 05:54PM (MST)[p]Try parker bullets. I use the match hunter. They are out of Idaho. Pretty pricey but they have the best ballistic coeficiecy you can get. I use blackhorn 209 with mine and keep a pretty tight grip

LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-18 AT 09:26PM (MST)[p]I upgraded my 700 UML breechplug to use different modules and headspaced it correctly to use BH209 with no issues. I shot some test loads to get velocity and pressure readings. Here is what I got:

BH209 loads by weight not volume.
310 gr APB (Arrowhead Performance Bullet)
Velocity is FPS
Pressure is in PSI
