Blackhorn 209

[Broadside Buck]

Hello!

I have been trying to hunt down Blackhorn 209 powder for my muzzleloader but it seems everywhere I can think of doesn't carry it. Does anyone know of any stores in Maryland that carry it? I'd like to avoid having to order online and pay hazmat.

Thanks!

Last time I bought it was at bass pro

Yeah- I thought Bass Pro would be the place to get it but they are out of stock and couldn't give me an ETA on getting it in.

There is a place in Essex.

Called HNP I believe.

Been a few years, but a great little hole in the wall shop.

Not in MD but I got my last jug at Green Top.

Within a week or two of Muzzleloader season (which was what 10/20?) Stuff like this becomes harder to find.
Online, basspro is showing the Arundle Mall as In Stock and Ashland Va store low on stock.

To avoid hazmat charge order online and do instore pick up. Pain free when you get there it's ready. Gentleman at bass pro did tell me there online availability check isn't very accurate. Went in one day looking for primers that said they had them instore. Guess what none on the shelves ask the guy behind the gun counter and said no haven't had them for at least two weeks.

Good point!
Call first because they can pull it aside, put behind the counter with your name on it.

Went and took a look in person at Bass Pro today and what do you know, they had a few bottles sitting on the shelf! Excited to get out there and try it out this weekend. I've heard some great things about it.

HNP in Essex is Long Gone.

Just a note, did you read up on it?
It is recommended to use shotgun magnum primers instead of inline primers.
I have 2 CVAs for me and my son, CVA makes a different breech plug to get better ignition. I had not found magnum shotgun primers, so I ended up using regular shotgun primers and I've never had an issue to date.

Bought some at Freds in white plains a few weeks ago.
As with everything Freds - it wasn't cheap.

Good stuff tho. Shoots fine in my TC with standard 209 primers.

Rons Bay Pro Shop near Dunkirk, MD had 209 this past weekend.
