Are you trying to say a 10 oz bottle of BH is the same volume as a 16 oz bottle of T7?

I've been reading these replies and come up with 2 things concerning this thread.
1. Black horn 209 is a rip off :!: :!:
2. Black horn 209 has some negative sides to it like all the others.
IMHO gents, it all boils down money. I base that on these issues.
Black horn is the most expensive powder out there. 10 ounce tubes opposed to 16 ounces like all the other powders out there. $35.00 for 10 ounces is a lot but this is what you get IMHO.......................
Consistency like no other powder...........No swabbing the barrel while shooting.............Shooting as many as 50 rounds or more WITH OUT having to swab at all. My 50th Barnes Spit Fire TE-Z 290 grain with it's blue sabot went down the barrel with just as mush EASE as the first and that goes for the Mono Flex 250 grain with it's red sabot............. The only time I had a crud/burn ring was before I switched to BH209..............IMHO, magnum loads aren't necessary. You can shoot 100 or 110 grains ( by volume ) and kill deer at 200 yards every day. (Magnum loads with loose powder waste more powder then what gets burned). As far as clean up goes. It takes me less time with fewer patches then I used when I shoot T7, APP/JSG or Pyordex loose or pellets. There was swabbing after 2 shots and the burn ring was unbelievable. Not with Black horn 209.
If I didn't have to pull the BREECH PLUG after every 6 to 8 shots and clear it from carbon, I would say the BH 209 if flawless for what you get. So I'll give it a 99 out of 100 for being the best out there. It's like anything else. You don't like the channel on tv, change it. If you find BH209 to expensive, don't buy it. Just remember, you get what you pay for.............. :huh?:
Ray............ :yeah:
I like it. I shoot it. As far as the price goes, for me it eliminates all the crap you have to do to keep shooting and that gives me more time to shoot and have fun................ :yeah:
