RE: Getting BH209 to shoot
I can get it here locally for $30 for 10 oz. And at 70 per shot (=100 by volume) it costs about .50 cents a shot for powder. It has shot 1-2” groups consistently for me with 250 SST with the low drag sabots. It also shot under 1” with my dad’s Optima with Barnes 250TMZ’s. I put a different nipple/breechplug on my daughters Traditions L-bolt last night and it shot about 1 ½” MOA. Leave the guns set for a week – no cleaning – first shot dead on.
Chap- I reminds me of 4759 or 5744, when you load there is no compression of the powder, the ramrod just feels like it hits bottom, just like the Savage. IMO I don’t think it will eat breech plugs.
