The new proc is out for and on page 6 it says:
"Muzzleloader
Includes rifles and shotguns in which the charge and projectile
are loaded through the muzzle. Only black powder, Pyrodex
or an equivalent substitute may be used. Smokeless
powder, including ?Blackhorn 209? powder is illegal. Legal
muzzleloading shotguns are those capable of being fi red from
the shoulder only. Muzzleloaders may use in-line ignition,
pelleted powder, sabots, belted bullets and scopes. See
Restricted Muzzleloader, next column."
This is crap. The Blackhorn 209 powder is a substitute just like Pyrodex and Triple 7. It is not a smokeless powder. If you agree that this is an error, be sure to contact NM G&F and let them know.
