Gun Week 2016

Blackhorn 209 doesn't absorb moisture in the way pyrodex or especially triple 7 does.

Most of the hang fire and miss fire issues with BH209 are from the caps and nipples.

What type of caps are you using?
How clean is your nipple/flash hole?

I was thinking on the same lines as Hedgelj.... One of the advantages of BH209 is its not absorbing moisture as quickly as other powders. If the gun has a breech plug, is it one designed especially for BH209?? Also BH209 needs a hot 209 primer such as CCSI Magnums. Another thing is, instead of taping end of barrel on wet days, cut the finger off a surgical glove and slide it over the end of barrel. It will blow right off when you shoot. I even put one on if it just stopped raining or snowing, as the bushes are wet and it doesn't take but a drop or two to run down the barrel.
 
Been slow but fun for us got my little cousin out today my brother took her to a double we have hung she was freezing they were about to get down and this buck stands up at 40 yards she smoked him hell of a first deer.

Awesome! Congrats to your cousin!
 
Killing a buck this week is quite an accomplishment, at least it would be for me. I've seen a total of four
