Default RE: Getting BH209 to shoot

ORIGINAL: bowbender6

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.
These things are good to know. I am liking it more and more from the experience you folks are sharing. This ML season I intend to use my Omega, but in Rifle season I will use my Savage. That will keep me in both camps. Gotta find some locally where I live. I like the leave the guns for a week and shoot dead on, makes me really want to use the Omega in MLer season now. Wanna try this at my brother's house next weekend in PA, going up there turkey hunting, but will have afternoons free to do some shooting. Thanks for the report. Chap
