I've not had any problems with consistency from IMR-4759 in my Savage. I can obtain this powder for $18.00 a pound and get 160 shots out of it. Compare that to BH-209 and its much cheaper to shoot. As far as weighing charges it takes me about 20 minutes to weigh my charges for the season, piece of cake, not to mention I am pushing a 300gr projectile at 2200fps. I'll take full advantage of the guns capabilities and stick with the smokeless.
