There have been some cases where the Black Horn 209 powder did not fire fom muzzle loaders with domed breech plugs . Also this is for 209 primers only !! Sabots need to be snug fitting . This is a progressive burning powder and it needs a lot of pressure to fire so lose sabbats or conicals or power-belts don't work . Here is some info on that.
