Knowing my rifle, I have little doubt that with T-7 it will shoot as well as it does with the BH209. But a good reason to shoot is never over looked. Still, this is a powder that is at least worth a try if you have a rifle that will shoot it. Very good power, clean to shoot, no swabbing, and breech plugs come right out. Other then the cost, I see no draw back. Although, the local sporting good store charges $28.00 for a pound of T-7 now, so this is not all that out of line..
