LAST EDITED ON Mar-27-12 AT 06:47PM (MST)[p]It says we "recommend" but doesn't say it passed yet? Here is the wording:
We recommend 3 rule changes to the big game rule R657-5
R657-5-10 Muzzleloaders
1(f) powder and bullet, or powder, sabot and bullet are not bonded together as one unit for
loading;
(g) is loaded with black powder or black powder substitute, which must not contain smokeless powder.
This change allows for the use of the product Blackhorn 209 that contains nitrocellulose
Studies show an average of 5% increase in velocity when comparing Blackhorn 209 with
traditional propellants
Blackhorn 209 is cleaner burning and would require less frequent cleaning of muzzleloader

new mexico already allows BH209. They changed it last year long before the season even started.

Technically, BH209 has always been legal in New Mexico. Last year they mistakenly had BH209 is illegal in the proclamation. I sent e-mails and got the industry to pounce on the NMDGIF and get it straightened out. It was recinded before the cutoff for entering the draw.
