Blackhorn issues

[scratcherky]

You guys are really paying the price they want for BH now? I'll stick to using real black. Cleaning doesn't bother me.

Totally worth the cost for me (although I’m stocked up for a few years at the old price). Powder is one of the cheapest expenses in my hunting adventures. Cost doesn’t bother me.

You have the idea .. back the bushing out in small steps. Measure the primer before you close the action on it, then again after you close the action. Call it about good when the primer is around 0.006" shorter.

I've always read .003-.005 crush on the primers is " ideal ".

T7 and BH used to be the same price. T7 has added $10 to the price. Acceptable. BH has almost tripled the price. How can they justify that? No other powder that I know of cost that much. Including smokeless. What makes the powder so special?

Good thing you have a good supply. Who knows what the price will be by the time you need to buy it again.

I won't be ripped off and $72 for BH is a rip off and it's 8oz now on top of it. I remember paying $24 for 10oz.

Hmm..I don’t recall T7 and Bh209 ever being the same price. I recall T7 being about $25/lb and Bh209 being about $30-$35 for 10 oz (which seemed expensive at the time).

The more expensive Bh209 gets the more I’ll go to shooting smokeless.

The more I keep learning from everyone here the more I'm thinking I need to smokeless. Think I'll get myself a cva scout 45-70 from Santa to start my first smokeless build. Seems to be the cheapest abd easiest route.

Okay, that's fine by me.

Personally, I don’t think you can beat a Woodman Omega. Prob gonna be about the same cost.

I haven't paid over $50 and that's for the 10oz jug! I've got enough to last me for several years now!

Wise man.

I'm as old as dirt with no memory. You could be right. I thought it was lower when it first came out.

And now, from Cabelas:

I honestly do not know what I am going to do when my 5lb jug runs out.

You wont be disappointed. I love mine.

Maybe see if you can find a CVA Hunter to convert. Blued, but slightly longer barrel and no brake.

That is an awesome idea. It comes in 450 bushmaster which is a .452 bullet diameter. I can use that for deer season here in Illinois until I acquire the hundred other things I need to keep going down this road.

For a conversion, a .458, or 45-70 is the best choice.
