If the Savage BP's wear out from using smokeless powder. It stands to reason BH 209 will wear out BPs to, since it's just a detuned smokeless powder.

The question is how fast? Jon says he has 2500 loads through a CVA BP and it's still fine. That should be more than a lifetime of hunting for the average guy.

A CVA BH209 BP cost $20. Deduct what you don't have to spend swabbing the loads, and it comes out to a non issue.

Lets not be crying wolf here.
