Im impressed that they actually have it in stock. Crazy price that i can’t afford.

You might also be shocked as to how much the other types of propellants cost now too. Notjust the ML stuff either.

That's how corporations act when they have a monopoly.

Twice the powder and twice the shots for less than half the price. So costs 20% as much to shoot

A lot of shooters have gone to T7and it's a wonder it hasn't gone up more in price.

Yessir, thats why i stocked up while i could still afford it. I may have to put a few guys, on here that are younger than me, in my will. Shootings gonna be a rich persons sport someday soon. There will still be some good deals around for a little while, small gun stores, auctions, flea markets. Im always watching out for those deals.

I have a large supply of BH 209 purchased when it was reasonably affordable but will not buy more should I run out. Will shoot T7 in my Accura and Omega when that happens. A smokeless build is also way cheaper to shoot than BH209.

So you guys are saying it’s gotten expensive?
About time there was a thread on this, it’s been at least a couple weeks since the last one…

 

[Ron Huff]

I thought it was expensive when I was paying 29.99 for a 10 Oz container. When it was 38.99 for an 8 Oz container I stocked up and quit buying except for a 5Lb jug that a member here made me an amazing deal on.

Youre right, its been way too long. It should be a stickie, in case we forget.

All you guys that have switched to 777 are really showing Hodgdon.
It’s like being mad at Chevy and buying a GMC.

 

[txhunter58]

If the GMC was 20% the price of the Chevy, sign me up!

I always was pleased with 777, and clean up is easy. However I love going to the range and shooting 30 shots with BH and not swabbing once. Makes range time so much more enjoyable for me. And I feel safer letting it stay loaded in the field for longer periods.

If I remember correctly Blackhorn is made in Canada somewhere. Thus it is highly regulated there and then here too. Only one place makes the stuff. Worse is they make the stuff seasonally, mostly for the hunting season. But Canada has not been friendly lately and that affects the propellant production too. Plus toss in our border and the problems getting stuff across it too. Along with inflation and materials shortages and then we have a mess.

Yupper, it comes from Canada:

Just for nostalgia my last 10 oz container almost gone will switch lot numbers soon and start shooting the 8 ounce containers.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

There’s a fireworks store nearby that sells ammo, ive got to stop in and see if they sell real black or if they can get it for me.

 

[Tracker12]

Well I shot up some T7 today and performance is just as good as the BH209. It is pain having to patch between shots but I’ll deal with it. One thing I did not like was the force it needed to remove the breech plug when I got home to clean. More anti seize went on it when reassembly.

[Ron Huff]

That’s quite a sweet deal

I mentioned buying and stocking long before Covid, just after the first shortage. This doesn't include a full case of lot#42 under the bench.
