BH209

[sbuff]

The price of BH209 has gone up again if you can even find it .  Seems to be in the $75.00 to $85.00 price range . With the current price hike I'll stick to T7 with the amount of shooting I do .

I had two containers given to me. Just started shooting it last year.  Should last me a bunch of yrs.

It's like gold now if you have it

I know 209 is the it MZ powder,  but no way I’m paying that much .

I still have pounds of it but I hope they raise the price enough so that when I run out I can find it on a shelf. It still seems to be almost unobtainable which tells me they can still charge more. When you make a product that is that much better than all of the competitors the sky is the limit.

agree... it's a business, so if demand still out runs supply people don't have an issue paying what they are. I've still got 2 or 3 of the 10oz canisters left. Looks like they've dropped the canisters down to 8oz now too and not just increased the price per can.

Well this fellow muzzleloader won't be buying it at those prices, my shots per year have gone down big time with my girls both in travel softball but I bet I still get 200 shots per year in .  I'll deal with the crud ring of T7 and swabbing , kind of use to it after all these years .

I’m with you there.  Foaming bore cleaner makes all the difference.  I’m glad as hell now, that I never followed the sheep, with the bh209.

I'll stop shooting my MZ before I go back to any of the other garbage other then BH.

It is fantastic stuff. While sighting in last year, my buddies were swabbing and cleaning after 3 shots.  I shot 8 times before I ran a dry patch through the bore out of habit.

Mowing don't forget your welcome to those supplies we talked about .

I get the not cleaning with bh209 as it's a progressive burning powder, but other then that what real advantages does it have over T7 or pyrodex.

I haven't forgotten, and need to meet up with you soon.  

BH209 is also much less corrosive. I'm only shooting it because it was free. I'll probably have enough of the stuff for several years.  Probably have a 4 boxes of T7 also.

Your right on the less corrosive,but shouldn't we all clean when we get home from a day of shooting.

Of course.  But I've been guilty of shooting a deer, reload and hunt the rest of the season.  T7 turns into a gooey mess after a while.

I haven't been that lucky as of late 🤣
