I use BenchMark and Varget in my varmint rifles. I use them because those powders are not as temperature sensitive as other powders. I just have never heard of any powders that are not effected at all by temperature and humidity. This is the first I have ever heard of such a powder.
If the BH-209 is capable of that then it truly is worth the price it demands. That is what I was trying to get at. I understand powder burn rates. And how mositure, humidity, and even elevation effect the burn rate of powder. So that is why I am interested in a powder that is not effected by two of those variables??
As I have stated before. I swore off T-7 because of it's moisture problems. If BH-209 has none of those problems then it might be worth a try. Tom.
