I am sure you are right Lee and for long-range shooting I think the BH 209 has some definite advantages. My shots are mostly going to be 100 yards or less, mostly much less.
I am not getting down on those who shoot BH 209 at all. I just don't think I should be made to feel stupid if I choose another powder.
That's what I like about muzzleloading, we can all find a way to shoot that suits us. Like my best pal tells me "Do it your own damn wrong way then".
