Almost disappointed with Blackhorn 209

[rugerfan]

I went to the range today and finally shot the Blackhorn 209 in my CVA Optima V2. I guess I expected cleaner results than what I was seeing in the barrel after shooting it, but the accuracy was there, and loading on the second shot was so much easier. No crud ring so that was a big plus.

I was using 110 grains by volume, 300 Grain Harvester Scorpion PT Gold and Federal 209A primers.

Its always going to be dirty, no magical way around that.

It is a muzzleloader. There is only varying degrees of cleaning.

I grouped 4 shots in the size of a baseball at a 100 yards, 2 were touching.
