I have always used and loved BH209, but the price is absolutely insane now. I don't shoot much anymore, usually just a handful of shots to check zero and hunt. I've had my current stash quite a long time and I noticed I'm running low, so I went to get some and I just couldn't do it. $99 for 8 oz vs like $40 for 10 oz when I last purchased it. It would be easier to keep shooting it, and it's still not that expensive seeing how infrequently I go through it, but still, it's the principle of the thing. I'm super surprised a competitor hasn't arrived onto scene. I love its consistency, the fact that it's not corrosive in power form, doesn't absorb moisture, etc, etc. What's the learning curve with the switch?

On another note, I've also been using Speer DeepCurl .452 300gr for a long time, but I have just had too many massive exit holes with this bullet. The last deer I shot quartering too. Exit was so massive I found its stomach on the blood trail. So I want to drop to 250gr or so. I had good accuracy in my old Omega Z5 with 90gr BH209 and a 250gr Harvester Scorpion PT Gold. The reason I stopped shooting them was I read some reports of bullet fragmentation and lost game. I love the Deep Curls but I'm done with them never being available and having to hunt all over for them. I have 10 left so I figured now was a good time to try something new.
