Blackhorn 209 Primer

[rkharris]

I want to try out some Blackhorn 209, but can't seem to find a 100 pack of the Federal or CCI 209 primers they recommend. Cabelas has boxes of 1000, Sportsmans has Rios and everyone else seems to be sold out or they don't carry them. Anyone have experience with the Rio primers and Blackhorn? Thanks, Ryan

I use magnum shotgun primers with Blackhorn 209, I believe they are CCI. Got them at Sportsmans a couple of years ago. If you are hunting in cold weather, you'll want to use magnum primers. Don't use muzzleloader 209 primers, they are not hot enough to get consistant ignition of the Blackhorn 209 powder.
