BH209 isn't approved in a sidelock because it wont go off, not because it would be dangerous. BH209 isn't some magically powerful stuff, it's very comparable to triple 777 which people (myself included) use in sidelocks all of the time. The manufacture likes to claim that BH produces way higher velocities than the competition, but every test that have seen BH is only 10-30 fps faster than the same load of 777, if not less than that.
