Ok, Got the Blackhorn Breach for my CVA and bought a couple pound of Blackhorn 209. A while back.
I got a little load card and it is listing BlackHorn loads for the .38 special and .357.
Knowing that 38 special, and 45 Colt, were originally black powder, lead bullet, rounds. Got me thinking.
Has anyone loaded any of the "originally black powder pistol cartridges" with this stuff?
If so what Primers were used and how bad was the clean up?
Will there be an ignition problem with small pistol primers?
The load calls for magnum primers.
Are magnum or large pistol primers definatly needed for this, powder? I know it does better with a larger primer hole in the thunder stick. I have shot it with the other breach, but there was a little ignition lag.That is why I bought the breach.
I got lucky and got a trade, a 100 CCI #500 primers for a 100 regular small rifle primers.
Have plenty of H-110, Universal and Red Dot. So do not really need too....but
Still would like to get some info on this for future use, even if I decide to not to load it with regular primers.
