A lot of people are paying a dollar or more for good bullets and even some for for Power Belts which do not fall in the top ten of many peoples list; I do not understand why so many people fuss about the price of a powder that is clearly to me any way much better than the others. And while it does work extremely well with heavy bullets by understanding it and applying the principles of using a progressive burning powder I have gotten 2400fps with a 200gr bullet AND gotten 3/4 inch groups at the same time. I have not seen anyone do that with any other powder in a muzzle loader except the smokeless which is not appicable to subs. I have trouble believing that people enjoy scrubbing the barrel between shots as some say they do. I personelly believe you get just what you pay for with Pyrodex and Blackhorn but I certanly don't like paying to scrub the barrel every shot.

Yep! and General Dynamics loves that attitude. Compare the price of BH to a bottle of 5744 a slow burning Smokeless Progressive buring powder. There is even a powder produced by IMR that has the same holes, same shape and it much cheaper and come in 16 oz's. (the IMR number escapes at the moment) Problem being it is faster and stronger.
