I got involved in a small confrontation today at the sporting goods store. Go figure
There is no way possible to say that BH209 is the same cost or comparable to 777. Folks.... sorry it's not even close. From one zip code to the next 777 is all over the map on pricing.

I actually have no idea why. I decided to go with online purchasing to be fair. I like to buy BH209 at Powder Valley. Why, because it's the cheapest place for me. And yes i will pay a hazmat fee. As you can see BH209 is $26.95 plus hazmat for 10 ounces of powder.

Now i take a look at 777 powder in both ffg and fffg. The price listed is $18.40 a pound (16 ounces) plus hazmat fee. You do the math. Not only is 777 almost $9.00 bucks a bottle cheaper, you get an extra 6 ounces as well. That's almost a half pound extra. As you can see, 777 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper per shot comparing apples to apples.
Now dont get me wrong, i much rather shoot Bh209 for a few reasons. But i also realize i'm paying more to do so. I also know BH209 is a better powder for me. But, i can also achieve the same thing i do with BH209 with 777 ffg or even fffg. Or atleast the animal wont know the difference.
