BH 209 doesn’t do anything for me that Tripple 7 doesn’t do. I hunt in the woods and most shots are under 50 yards. I quit buying it when it hit $59 for 8oz.
I got into it with an accura 45 for a western Nebraska hunt where I was getting out to 250… Kyle Pittman has some bad stuff in that realm but I never caught up with him. Next level smoke pole.

When I bought an inline a long time ago, an online ML shop had a deal to deliver you three bottles for a reasonable price. I bought three and all these years later I still have half a bottle.
I like it but will never buy any more as I don't like being raped.

Many moons ago, I got my first smoke pole and a can of Goex 3F. Dad showed me how it all worked, and how to clean it.

He just used a pot of hot water heated in the kitchen counter percolator.

I tried Pyrodex, which worked, but was no easier to clean.

I have also tried all the new fangled stuff, and none has given me better performance than BP, though some have been a little aggravating to light off, at times.

Now and evermore, I will just use BP, even in my scoped TC Omega and 209 primers...

Too easy.

Just did the math, I've got about 109 shots left before I'm out of powder... and the other nice thing about BH209 is you can really crank em out when plinking without having to worry about a mess.

Brutal. Its like diamond dust! Just looked and have three 8 oz jugs and a piece left. It'll last out my omega. Plan on being into a smokeless before too long anyway.

I'm sitting on about 5-6 oz's ... I love it .... I'll prolly buy one or two more this off season and be done buying B/P propellant until I depart.
I guess they can't rape the willing ...

I recently ordered a pound of FF and one of FFF real BP, as I was getting low on the two cans I've had a while, I don't mind cleaning after shooting, and real black powder is apparently cheaper than the fake stuff anyway ? and I would be severely aggravated if I didn't get ignition using one of the "fake" bp's but then I shoot a couple Hawken's , never wanted to go the inline route
