I hate the price of BH too. That's why i'm not a range rat with it. I get a load to work for hunting, and then just hunt with it. I've been working on the same bottle for a long time, and I have plenty left for the rest of the year . I consider it just a hunting powder.
BH 209 and Thors is not a range load. It's only purpose is death and a full freezer.
I shoot my other guns for 1/10th the price.
