Let's see, $266 (plus shipping?) for 100 oz. (6.25 lbs.) of Blackhorn comes out to $2.66 an ounce.

Shooting 105 grain loads costs $0.64 per shot.

Don't you guys feel like you're being ripped? Have you ever wondered why BH costs twice as much as other smokless powders?

My last case of GOEX (25 16oz. cans) cost me a total of $295, including Louisiana sales tax. That works out to $0.74 an ounce or $0.14 a shot for my standard 85 grains load. I sometimes shoot 105 grain loads. That costs a whopping $0.17 cents a shot. Plinking with patched balls and 50 grain loads cost me eight cents a shot.

I know, I know - Blackhorn is a great powder. But the three deer I took last season with GOEX at 88 yards, 83 yards, and 65 yards didn't seem to notice the difference.

I know all of Blackhorn's good points, and it has many. But my one canister purchase last year will probably be my last one.
