I got involved in a small confrontation today at the sporting goods store. Go figure
There is no way possible to say that BH209 is the same cost or comparable to 777. Folks.... sorry it's not even close. From one zip code to the next 777 is all over the map on pricing. I actually have no idea why. I decided to go with online purchasing to be fair. I like to buy BH209 at Powder Valley. Why, because it's the cheapest place for me. And yes i will pay a hazmat fee. As you can see BH209 is $26.95 plus hazmat for 10 ounces of powder. http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/
Now i take a look at 777 powder in both ffg and fffg. The price listed is $18.40 a pound (16 ounces) plus hazmat fee. You do the math. Not only is 777 almost $9.00 bucks a bottle cheaper, you get an extra 6 ounces as well. That's almost a half pound extra. As you can see, 777 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper per shot comparing apples to apples.
Now dont get me wrong, i much rather shoot Bh209 for a few reasons. But i also realize i'm paying more to do so. I also know BH209 is a better powder for me. But, i can also achieve the same thing i do with BH209 with 777 ffg or even fffg. Or atleast the animal wont know the difference.
Too bad Barack is so busy trying to sell a Federal health care monopoly to the uninformed, because what we need a "community organizer" to deal with the BlackHorn problem.
I would bet something amazing would happen if everyone who is now using BH would quit buying the stuff immediately and send an e-mail to the "contact us" address on the BH web page (powder@midrivers.com) saying "I love BH but I will no longer buy it until there is a full pound of powder in the canister and the price is reduced to a reasonable level."

It is the one reason I do not shoot much BlackHorn 209. When my brother can find it at Cabela's and then I don't have to pay the hazmat fee, its still more expensive but something I am willing to accept.
But I shoot too much. And for that reason, I shoot black powder, pyrodex and triple seven.

38.00 for last jug of BH209 they had in town . They are not going to get anymore . Its 24.00 for 777 ( $ 14.00 dollars cheaper ) and i can find it at every gun shop . Man , for the price i pay for 777 its like buying two and getting the third one free , but cheaper , compared to BH209 .

This would SO work! I elect you as "our" community organizer for this grass roots effort

I guess a lot of it is in your view point. For me with crud ring that I have with 777 I have to spend 5 minutes scrubbing and brushing between each shot. I will never shot that stuff again. Now Pyrodex is a good powder I used it for many years and still like it, and use it in some guns, it just takes a bit more to get the same results. I guess I am amazed at all the crying over a couple of dollars, if you don't like it you don't have to buy it, if you are not going to buy it why cry? Lee
