Blackhorn 209 Muzzleloading Propellant Status?

[john 800]

I really like blackhorn 209 in my muzzleloader, I have not seen any for sale lately and I recently got a notification from midway that it has been discontinued. It does not say weather thos is permanent or temporary. Same parent company as western powders, which to my understanding was recently purchased. I am hoping, guessing that they temporarily stopped in order to produce more of a higher demand product.
Does anyone know the status long term?

Forum Boss: Contact Hodgdon, which has taken over BlackHorn 209. I imagine there will be a transition period.

You many also want to check various vendors. Many Sportsman's Warehouse stores are showing supplied in stock (but you have to check particular locations).

How about GOEX FFG as a replacement?

Send Hodgdon an email and ask about BH209

Hodgdon Powder Company is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Ramshot and Accurate smokeless powder brands and the Blackhorn 209muzzleloader brand from Western Powders. This acquisition is effective October 1, 2020, with the company set to immediately begin shipping these new products to wholesale and retail customers.

“This acquisition of the Ramshot and Accurate brands further solidifies our portfolio of smokeless brands and products for our handloading end users,” said Steve Kehrwald, president and CEO of Hodgdon Powder Company. “And the addition of Blackhorn 209 to our world-class muzzleloading brands like Pyrodex and Triple Seven uniquely positions us to serve the muzzleloading consumer. With these brands, we also add the capabilities of an additional ballistics lab to continue developing the data our customers demand from our Reloading Data Center tool and publications like our Annual and Basic Manuals.”

“Hodgdon has always been a strong competitor in the reloading powders industry,” said Doug Phair of Western Powders. “The Hodgdon family has built a robust company. Ramshot, Accurate and Blackhorn 209 will make excellent additions to the Hodgdon family of powders.”

Thanks so far guys
I have enough on hand to get through a hunting season but if anyone in southern mn has some they are not using i would be interested in order to let my kids practice without worrying about being caught short. I would prefer to trade components but would buy outright at a fair price if anyone is close

So I sent an email yesterday and received reply today


Hello Jay, We plan to continue offering Blackhorn 209 powder. When we took over Western powders all Blackhorn 209 for 2020 had already been shipped. We have this powder currently being made and expect it to start showing up retail around late February or Early March.



Thank you
