The cheapest way I have found is to buy from Grafand sons by the case [10 cans ] I got a case when it came out and it cost me 32.80 a can that way that includs hazmat and shipping.
Also of interest is the fact that all my and most other Close breach TC'sshoot the 250 SW and short black Harvestor sabot with a heavy load of BH to less than a minute of angle. If you have an Outdoor Sportsman store close by I hear they are sell BH for 29.88.

I think Mid South has it for $29.95 but if there is a Cabela's close to you, call them. They carry it and it will save you the hazmat fee. Plus you can go to Cabela's and spend a fortune on other stuff you just have to have.

For primers you want hot ones, so stay away from the Remington Kleenbore, and the Winchester Triple Se7en primers. I like the Winchester W209. They come in the blue box. They have set the stuff off for me with no problem.

Good luck with your deer season. 200 yards is a long way out there. What kind of bullet does your rifle shoot well? I sure admire that Pro Hunter.

If you wanna good 200 yard bullet, the Barnes Origonal 300g with Crushed Rib sabot works well with Smokeless and should work well with BlackHorn, since it is a lot like smoleless. 120g should get you there about 3.5" high at 100 yards. If the crushed rib doesn't work for you, try the MMP Orange sabot for .458 rifle bullets. Chap Gleason

Not really sure on bullets. I bought the Pro-Hunter last fall and only got to shoot it 1/2 dozen times @ 100yds. I started with 250gn Shockwaves and 3 pellets of 150gn triple seven. Admittedly I'm not the best shot @ the bench and never seem to find the time to get to a range. I travel for work and my 2 girls consume my time on the weekends. I topped the rifle with a Nikon 3x9 BDC. Not sure if that was a wise choice since it's set up for 250gn bullet and 150gn powder. Seems like most people on here end up shooting loose powder in the 100 to 120gn range.
