Testify! I'm native born Texan and my family always put beans in our chili. Of course, I come from "old NO money" and my folks had a lot of kids. The beans made the chili go further.

I wonder how blending powders might work in a muzzleloader. One application that would come to mind is blending a little 777 with BH 209. That might get BH 209 to ignite reliably in a sidelock. Some muzzleloader shooters do a duplex load where they might load some FFF powder first with FF to top...

For the price of a NR license and an Annual Public Hunting permit, you can chase them year around on National Forest land in East Texas with no tags and no limits. And there are a bunch of them!
