    Think it'll buff out?

    Not necessarily, but I wouldn't want to have to hire an attorney.

    Think it'll buff out?

    If the inebriated messican hit to the left, and the party girl hit to the right, chances are the next happy customer should centerpunch the tree next. Maybe wrapping an old mattress around the tree would help cushion the impact. Just being facetious. You could capitalize on the situation and...

    Optima V2 Review

    If you are getting a 4" group after getting the scope situation resolved you may have a problem. My Optima is good for at least 2" groups all day long. And that is with T/C Cheapshots and BH 209 @77 gr, 777ff @80gr., and home rolled Black @80gr. Konus should take care of you. If possible use a...

    Boycott/ Limit purchase of BH 209?

    Mr. Tom, I see your point. It isn't for everyone, this making of one's own whatever. The risk I take is my own, one might call it individualism. I just believe knowledge is power, and I am not experimenting, I'm following common sense and proven formula.

    Boycott/ Limit purchase of BH 209?

    I've never bought an 8 oz. jug, and probably never will. Not at $160 a lb. ($10/oz.). I bought plenty of 10 oz.jugs at around $40 ($4/oz.) when available when the writing was on the wall. I'll use it for hunting and that's about it. and probably only for the purpose of not having to swab between...

    Just bought Knight LK 93

    You did very well on that knight. The LH flinter I was interested in went for way more than I was willing to pay.

    Help with cleaning BH209

    Let me add, that the drill bit is NOT in a power drill. It is held in a pin vice type of tool, and turned with your fingers. Also, I have a little pill-type bottle of Hoppes #9 that is dedicated for soaking the breech plug..

    WITHDRAWN BH 209 for trade closed

    I have 10 lbs of Grafs house brand FFg I'll never use since I make my own powder now. But I'm quite a ways away on the left coast.

    CVA Optima v2 owners - what's your most accurate bullet?

    My rifle and pistols like the 250 TEZ. 78 gr Wt 209 in rifle and 63 gr Wt in pistols. Cheap Shots shoot very well also but I cannot use lead to hunt here in the Kommie republic.

    Sportsmans Warehouse Scope sale 01/20/2022

    Price went up $10, but still a good deal. I just was there 30 minutes ago picking up a pistol and if I saw this post I would have looked at the scope when I was in there as it is at the store. But like I said I'm happy with my Sightrons and with a lifetime warranty why not?

    Blackhorn 209 HELP !

    Many thousands have been and are still in use for many decades, you cannot go wrong with that scale. I started with a 1010 in the 70's and still use it to verify the accuracy of other scales.

    Hard to load second shot

    Crud ring, ugh. Someone somewhere suggested running the first damp patch down and letting it set for a bit. That will let the ring absorb somewhat and soften a bit. When withdrawing the jag it will remove most of the ring. I've one-upped it by pointing the muzzle down after getting the rod...

    BH209 in Michigan

    About 5 minutes putting in zip codes from major cities in close-by states. Taint nothing from WalMart in Kalifornia, they went woke here. :oops:

    BH209 in Michigan

    My luck, the closest to me is in ND. And I'm <20 miles from the Pacific Ocean.🤪

    Is the .54 going the way of the DoDo Bird?

    I picked up a 54 T/C sidelock but have yet to shoot it. Was hoping to get drawn on Oregon elk but that didn't pan out this year. I have plenty of RB and a Minnie ball mold. NOE molds will make most anything you want if you have a drawing or a sample. I had some molds made for my 25 and 30 cal PCPs

    Shotshell primer

    If you have 777 powder you could try a duplex load of perhaps 10 gr under your BH209. I haven't needed to but I don't see it being unsafe. That should get the BH 209 lit. Hopefully others will chime in.

    Why I'm sure I'll never buy from Cabelas/Redhead again

    My last 10 lb order of Black was from Grafs. But I now make my own Black.

    Why I'm sure I'll never buy from Cabelas/Redhead again

    I'm using Midway more and more, and haven't had much trouble except the way things get jostled around in the box when the order arrives. But Midway took care of it and sent more to make up for lost bullets. I'm hoping Midway still has the birthday special this year, I have a big shopping cart...

    Small rifle primers

    90 bucks at Midway, and hazmat? I must be lucky as I'm getting them for $6 a pack with tax locally. Albeit only 2 packs per day.

    Oregon Draw Results

    I put ion for 235M as the first choice and 234M as the second choice. Needless to say, I was unsuccessful. I'm contemplating a 200M as there are some tags left, but the area will be new to me. Especially venturing off alone as my partner will be in New Zealand at that time.
