However, I remembered that some of you said to increase load without adjusting the scope. So I did. I went to 100g BH.
Clover leaf!
As far as cleaning the BH...well, that was a little letdown. It is my opinion the BH 209 is a little harder to clean at the end of the day than 777. In fact I can clean 777 from my gun in half the time. The crud from the 209A as well as needing to use gun solvents likes hopp's really slowed me down. In particular, the breech threads.
So here is my review of BH 209 in a nutshell,
The Good: Accurate, no swabbing, and easy removal of breech plug.
The Bad: Price, and cleaning at the end of a day of shooting.
As for me, well...I am a new believer and user of BH. And can't wait to take down a few deer wit it also.
PS
T/C's XTP mags rock!

Cabelas and Bass Pro have it for $29.99
100gr is what works really well out of my Omega also
I don't feel that it's any harder to clean at all compared to 777. Especially when you factor in all of the cleaning you have to between shots with 777.
I had been shooting 300gr TC XTP's and I agree they do rock. Now I'm going to try some some Nosler Partition's and see how they do.
