Weigh BH 209??

[ENCORE50A]

That is if I’m reading this correctly?

The top chart indicates 10 volume charges, each then weighed. Of those weights, the average weight was used.

I think that where BH starts to excel and become more consistent, is when the charge is further increased. It might be why BH and T7 (loose) are comparatively close with one another with100gr volume charges?

“No Spillage of Powder compared to the Volume Measure”

Now there is a valid reason. At the current price for sure

….or you could just catch the spillage in a container and put it back.

Exactly! Either way I am not weighing the loads.

Thanks for the clarification.

I use an aluminum tray (washed pie pan) for this myself!

When I started to see two front sights, I changed all my long guns over to scopes and sold all my pistols.

Thats hard to do with a Colorado elk tag in my pocket.

I would love it if Colorado would change and allow us to use a 1x scope

They are fairly similar until bullet weight and charge weight increases enough. When you get to say a 300gr and 110grV loads the difference is very noticeable. Guys shooting things like a 200gr SST in a sabot see very little performance gain until you get to 120grV. Shooting big lead a 70-80grV load of BH209 is not a heckuva lot faster than the same amount of Triple7. 5-10grV more will pretty much match it.

Out bear hunting today and saw this bull. Got to see him wallow at about
120 yards. So would have been in range. Elk season does open until Saturday . Kept my 270 slung over my shoulder
