For me Chuck's report was great but it did point something out that I had not read before in all the write-ups that I had previously read. I knew you needed to use 209's to ignite it but I did not know that you had to have a closed 209 igntion system to get it to work consistently. I had ordered a couple of bottles of it but will have to cancel the order as the onlyinlines that I have that have the closed system is the two Omega's, all the rest (6 of 'em) are open 209 ignition - so for me the cost of the powder and the fact about the necessity of the closed breech suddenly ends my quest.
And another point or am I wrong?
100 grains of BH209 - 250 grain bullet ='s 1783fps average
for me
100 grains of T7-2f - 250 grain bullet ='s 1860fps average
also
100 grains of BH209 - 290 grain bullet ='s 1739fps average
100 grains of T7-2f - 300 grain bullet ='s 1750fps average
Can not compare 120 grains - never shot that much powder, but I have shot 110 grains of T7-2f over the chrono...
110 grains T7-2f - 300 grain bullet ='s 1825fps
The "no-swabbing" certainly is huge, and non-corrosive is even bigger - just wish it was a more universal powder...
One last thought... as quoted by Chuck
Bullets over 350gr are not recommended
So I can not shoot my big bull shop conicals???
Just random thoughts from the peanut gallery...
