You think Blackhorn209 is expensive?

Back in the 1830's, the mountain men were shelling out $12 a pound for DuPont black powder! :shock:

$5.00 in 1830 would be the equivalent to $107.00 dollars today :shock:

If you add up the time it take to clean after every shoot, the patches, cleaner over time it adds up. but BH209 is slowly going up and up when will it stop ????????? it the best with the highes price.

The time saved and the power and reliability plus the shelf-life make it a better value than folks realize.

You sure it wasn't $12 for a keg?

per pound!

english powder was $2-3 per pound but was called garbage.

That's nuts! A new Hawken was only $28, and not many could afford one.

true but at rendezvous, that $28 hawken went up to well over $100 by the time they got it out to rendezvous.
