Ya man, Michigan is a no smokeless state, so BH is the way to go. 1/8" at 50 yards is a group, is that scoped or open sights. Since an Omega I am thing scope, but it could be open sights at 50 wiht that powder. Best Wishes,

It seems that about every one likes it some people chose not to use it, which is easy to understand, I know there was a time when a few dollars made a differance to me. Lee
That powder IMO is one of them that if your rifle will shoot it, you owe it to yourself to try a jug of it. It's amazing stuff. Nice shooting.

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to break down and buy a can of it to try out. Unforunatly I can't get it any where close and I refuse to pay the Haz Mat. I will only be able to try it out in my CVA Wolf and not my KRB. Got a wedding to go to mid Sept near Crown Point, Indiana so I'll side track over to Sportsmans Warehouse in Laffette (sp?) on my way home. I'll have a list of things I need.
