My question is : Does the 10 oz. container of Blackhorn equal the 16 oz. volume of say Goex 2-F.
I mean will i get as many 80 grain loads from the 10 oz. Blackhorn as a can of Goex 2-F ?
Does it have more bulk to it?
Yes, BH209 comes in 10oz containers, but also 5# containers.
Yes, you load it by volume, but also using the proper conversion (.7) provided by Western it can be loaded by weight.

No, 10oz does not equal 16oz.
There are 7,000 grains of powder in 1#. There is 16oz in 1 pound.
7000/16 = 437.5 grains per ounce.
10x 437.5 = 4375 grains per container of BH209.
Shots per container.... 1# vs 10oz
7000/ 80 = 87.5 shots of BP
4375/ 80 = 54.7 shot of BH209
Note: I haven't finished my first cup of coffee yet, so no guarantee on the math
