Just trying to see what my options are for a traditional looking Muzzle loader (inline or sidelock) with the use of Blackhorn 209 and modern sabots.
Thanks in Advance,
Mike

I did find that Pedersoli makes a Rolling block muzzle loader with a 209 nipple.

There was just a T/c scout carbine that I found in the wts here a few days ago. Went pretty fast.

Look for a used T/C Black Diamond.
Hellava .50 caliber in-line.
Mine is fifteen years old and still going strong.

You must use regular power shotgun primers to ignite Blackhorn 209. Most traditional ML do not use these primers.
Good luck

I once tried pellets in my percussion sidelock.
Primer pop, but no KA-BOOM.
The deer, at 20 yards, laughed.

Honestly, you can have either substitute powders and shotgun primers...or traditional. Not both.
Personally, I'd toss the expensive sabots and go with a traditional gun. A .45 round ball works fine on deer, a .50 or .54 works better.

I have duplexed BH209 in several sidelocks with percussion caps.
15grains of 3F Goex then 60grains of BH209
IT was several years ago and it seemed like it was hard to get Traditional BP at the time.
It let me go quite a number of shots before swabbing the barrel.
I only shot sabots from the TC sidelock and it was not too bad. I recall it has a faster twist. 50 yards offhand using the plinking (all lead) sabots, it was about the same as my patched lead balls.
Anything but Traditional BP in my sidelocks yeilded an ignition delay. Duplexing was fine but using Pyrodex or the American Pioneer stuff (that stuff is horrible) I could hear the delay after the cap went off.
Adding just the little 15G BP before the BP substitute and making sure my channel was clear, no issues in ignition at all.

I used these with good results. We cant use pellets for hunting, has to be loose powder. The good thing with these caps are they are a bit hotter and the side cock port doesnt need to get filled. Even though I fill it just to have more burn
