You might better check more into BH... it is a black powder sub but it not the hydroscopic... it is really a progessive burning smokeless powder that you might use in a regular rifle. It was engineered to match the power and volume characteristics of Swiss/T7. If you request a government MSDS sheet it should be apparent or just open a jug of the odor will tell you right away. It is not NC but sure has a bunch of Ether in it.
But then again for this topic what does it matter?... any barrel bore that is unprotected from moisture or climate is suseptible to rust... even your centerfire barrels.
All black powders and substitutes are hydorscopic and will draw moisture, which willcorrode metal.

hey steve why dont u post some useful info rather than always trying to start crap with someone?
And if i were to bash a product here, its would be that expensive non corrosive powder thats not supposed to rust or corrode.

And pointing out crap and possible wrong info is usefull.
Saying you know of a problem but refusing to give the details is crap - and bs.
This is not about a powder - it is about you posting you know of a problem with a TC product.
If true, do something usefull and provide the proof.

RE: blackhorned caused rust
I don't think it was the blackhorn that caused therust. I think it was the lack of oil in the barrel. If you had left a centerfire rifle in the same condition with out any oil in the barrel I think it would rust to under the right conditions (Humidity). I would never leave any of my guns without anything in the barrel to protect it no matter what kind of powder I was using.And yes, I do shootBH209 and love the stuff.

T7, BM3, and several other subs are smokeless also but they are not progressive. They are a sugar based powder - ascorbic acid powder with smoke added. These are subs because they burn like BP and are close to equal in volume and pressure... So hence they can be subbed...
