I feel T7 and Bh209 are poor performers and I've listed several reasons why, numerous times on various boards.
There's more to grading a powder than highest bullet speed. I'm seeing really quick ignition - consistent target holes and a surprisingly semi-clean barrel after 10 shots of Blue Mag pellets fired on a Saturday in December. Covering four days of hunting altogether, no signs whatsoever yet of moisture in the powder.
Very happy with the Mag pellets and I suspect Black Mag loose will show up under a different label, should it ever go away as rumored.
We could very well see Black Hots Loose Powder coming to powder shelves this late summer.
