Powder Valley has Blackhorn 209 for muzzle loaders for a mere $88.99.... for 8 ounces. But if you order 2 you get free shipping! I was bemoaning the price of actual black powder and what it costs to feed my bevy of Sharps, Sniders, Martini Henry's, 12.7 Swede etc. Now it seems like the Swiss 1.5f is the bargin of the month but for some reason, I don't really feel better. So I guess it can get worse and sympathize a little more with our foreign members who really feel the bite.

I use real black powder in my traditional guns but was using Blackhorn in my inlines. Guess I won't be doing that anymore at 88 bucks for a few ounces. Has anyone tried the Shooters World sub?

I figured at that price, they could hang on to it for awhile. If you're trying it, I hope it works. I've heard Scofields have that issue with black powder loads and it seems like there were some youtube videos that were trying to solve it. If I run across them I'll try to post a link because I'm thinking it was In-range or Forgotten weapons.

Another choice for the Schofield in BP loads. Grafs and Natchez both show Shooters World Black for about $35/#. Reviews seem to show it's pretty clean so a possible alternative. That residue is unexpected but at everything cleans up easily.

Not yet. I'm waiting until I can put a larger order together to cut the hazmat costs. If they got some SW Buffalo I would really be a happy camper and ordering a lot quicker.

it's same as Alliant Black MZ and is wonderful powder.i hoarded the MZ when Sportsman's was selling it out fur $10 per pound.
it's my favorite in my Ruger Old Armies.

I've loaded Black MZ and only one metallic.Cartridge ,my 310 Cadet. I had no issues but then again it's a single shot.No other issues in cap and ball revolvers or Caplock rifles.Ive burned about 20# of the stuff.Maybe the Shooters World is slightly different?

From all I understand it is made by American Pioneer Powder and "supposedly" the same stuff. I read it on the internet.It has to be true....
And then there's the possibility that it just reacts differently in certain applications.

Black MZ is an Alliant powder. Multi Purpose Black is made by American Pioneer Powder for Shooters World. They may be differing chemical compositions. I do not know who may actually manufacture the Alliant propellant and if they are actually the same propellant labeled differently. Who knows anymore?
Black MZ was always made by APP for Alliant. I think APP sold it originally and called it Clean Shot or something?
The changes you show do make sense why the Shooters World isn't working as well as the MZ does for me.I still have 25# of the stuff.
