It really does sound good but T7 does work very well for me. Although, I do have two bottles on order but at the projected price of $30 for 10 ounces not a pound 10 ounces- it will be to expensive for me and all the shooting that I do.

Even with the dreaded crud ring I am tickled with the accuracy of my T7. I got enough on clearance at Wally World to last me the next 20 years..lol. Wonde rif I looked suspicious carrying 7 pounds of T7 to the counter?
One 10 oz. bottle of BH209 gives you more shots than $65 worth of Triple Se7en three pellet loads with no crud, no immediate cleanup and no corrosion. The shelf life of Blackhorn 209 is indefinite when properly stored in a sealed container. This is in stark contrast to Triple Se7en, which immediately starts absorbing moisture. The engineers at ATK / Federal, while developing their Fusion primer, found that "Any primer is fine with dry pellets. It"s when the T-7 pellets soak up 7+% moisture that ignition becomes critical." It is this moisture grabbing ability of T7 that degrades performance, a property thankfully not shared by BH209.
Not sure why he compared it to 150 grain loads of 777 pellets??? Not a fair comparison, but the moisture thing is interesting if it is true.

throw our 777 away, look for this new powder
. 10 oz vs one pound, $26 (the most I seen 777) vs $30.
