I have used 3 tubs of BH209 and have just gone to 777 . BH 209 is tooo $$$ , hard to find , hard and breech plug because of the primers needed , so i guess i Like the dark ages better . I convinced a local gun shop to get BH209 in , he got two tubs and i bought one and the other has sat there for over 6 months . They are not getting anymore in , its just too $$$ and nobody is buying it . I can get 777 at all the shop here in town and Wal mart will be dropping the prices ( close out) in a few months . Its great not having to swab beteen shots , but what i gained at the range i lost cleaning the replacing breech plugs . Plus it take only a few secounds swabbing one wet and one dry . Like spomeone esle said its good to cool your gun down too . after shooting 777 and my .25acp last time out , i just don't see that big ( if any) of a advantage of using BH209 . IMO . And me not buying any , leaves more for the rest of ya and thats a good thing !!
