Hey guys was wondering what kind of propellent yall use for your in line muzzeloaders. I use to use loose powder but am going to try hodgdons triple 7 this year.

That's what I use. 150 gr. Burns relatively well, and as clean as pyrodex can I guess. I've had good luck with it.

I shoot Triple 7 pellets. If you shoot either 100grs or 150 grs it is a lot easier than measuring out powder.

I shot Blackpowder for years, then Pyrodex, then Pyrodex pellets, then 777, then 777 pellets. Also have experiemented with IMR White Hots and Shockey's stuff.

NONE of them compare to Blackhorn 209. It is expensive, but it is worth every penny.

I did not like Pyrodex b/c of cleaning. 777 burns cleaner, but has sugar in the mix and that crud is extremely difficult to clean.

Blackhorn 209 max load is 120gr. You will knock your hat off at 150. No cleaning b/t shots and it is by far the most accurate I have tested except for a $2000 custom ML that shoots 200 gr of Pyrodex pellets.

My Father, Brother and myself all shoot Blackhorn and are getting awesome groups out to 200 yards. All of us shoot Encores with either the new or old style barrel with the 250gr T/C Shockwave EZ Glide sabot.

You owe it to yourself to try it. Be sure to buy regular 209 primers, this stuff is a little harder to light per the manufacturer.
