As for myself, I have tried the BH209 but I am going to stick with triple 7 in my inlines.

Which smokeless? How do we know BH209 does not have the same properties as one of the dozens of varieties? What I have heard but not confirmed with any reliability is that the plant being used to produce BH209 was formerly used to produce a smokeless powder that is now off the market with VERY similar properties. Cooincidence, no?
The truth is we don't, and no reliable source is publishing tested and confirmed data, so I would never do it. But it's also wrong to say lump all smokeless powders in the same group, a gun that shoots fine with one smokeless powder may blow up with the wrong smokeless powder.
