the gain in velocities with the BH is o.k., but what do your groups look like at say 100yds with it? Have you compared the T7 and BH both at 100yds to see what groups better?
I realy do not see any difference but i am hunter not really a perfectionist - I can shoot as well as many. A lot claim they get better accuracy. The other thing I look at is the consistency of the velocities, remembering I do not weight powder I throw it on site, so keeping the velocities on the same ball park is a good indicator for me.
You can see in the 120 grain target - they do shoot about the same - if you could remove shooter error - think they would be pretty darn close.
I know you were just trying out your new Chrno and testing different Primers, but where does BH start to fall apart in accuracy compared to T7 at longer distances?

I really do not know that it does, BH provides somewhat of a softer recoil because it is progressive burning so I am sure that would relate to better accuracy on the high end of powder loads. I really think that is one of the reason that T7 opens with heavy loads. If you were to re-work your rifle to absorb that recoil I think you could hold 150 grains of T7 right in there with 100 grains of T7.
Belive me also - if BH were in my price range - that is the powder I would be shooting, but doubling the price for less just does not fit with me... If i were to shoot BH I could really just go back to shooting centerfires and probably spend less money....
Rumor: It has been said that Alliant has introduced a new powder at the S.H.O.T. show called 'Black Dot' that is suppose to be a new ML sub. I am really excited about that - I justs hope it pans out to be true and is priced affordable.
