After being bamboozled with misinformation I phoned the company that makes Blackhorn 209.
He asked what ML I would be using and then he told to stay with regular blackpowder for subzero hunting as Blackhorn ignites between 700 and 800 degrees, double that of blackpowder.
I wonder how many other businesses would tell you NOT to buy their product and have the customers best interest in mind? Cheers to them!
My guess their recommendation to not buy 209 is somewhat depenndent upon the muzzleloader/breech plug system make and model. From my research, some designs handle it much better than others.Interesting. Sounds like it may not be all it's cracked up to be as most of my muzzle loading is done in Dec so it's almost always below freezing.
I can't find any mention of that on their site but they do have a good article on primers.

ALWAYS lube the breech plug threads.
