I would ask, 'Is that Western Powder that good?', cuz it is for me.
When i leave town to go hunting, i go with extra bullets, powder, primers, food, fuel, etc. My tires have plenty of tread, and i have fire starter, and rope, and a game cart, and gloves, and a cap, etc.
When i go fishing, i have enough fuel, jigs, bait, and ice. The bearings on my boat trailer are greased, the spare tire has air in it, and the boat batteries are charged.
These days my only issues using Black Horn Powder, is i use too much of it.
The three P's Proper Planning and Preparation go a long ways's for any outing.
I live in the middle of Whoville, Canada and powders of different varieties are out of the norm. It is hard to get Goex here let alone a fancy can of BH209. It's a 2 hr drive each way for the Goex.
I haven't used it yet and was currious as to what the issues were with it. As always, mileage will vary.
