I use 777 for all 3 of my ML, and have had great success. When BH209 first came out I was interested, but could not find it for sale anywhere near me, I could have it shipped with the addition of a hazmat charge wich added $$. I dont mind swabbing between shots, never had a problem with the crud ring that a little elbow grease could not handel. As far as the barrel rusting, someone already posted this, thats your fault not the powder. I have nothing against BH209, never shot it. I like my 777, and the deer I have shot with it sure did'nt know the difference.

Right now the only thing keeping me from Bh 209 is the price, man it's expensive! and with this economy being so chronically slow i can't justify it.also no one locally carries it and to have it shipped is very expensive also.

Exactly and when you are retired... the economy is even tighter... Got our 2011 Social Security information in the mail today.... things are going to get even tighter.
But I would say if I were just an occasional shooter - i would shoot BH - even though it might be cheaper to shoot centerfire and reload....
But I burn 6-9 lbs of T7 per year that might work out to close to 14 bottles of BH in a season... so 14 times $25 to $30 per bottle or 9 times $20 per bottle... Now I know you are right....

I buy it When Cabelas has it on sale for $19.99, take the ad to who has coupons out at the time(Bass Pro, Gander Mountain) and they match the price and use the coupon. Last time i got it for $15 a can with the coupon at Cabelas.

BH209 doesn't reliably work in most unmodified CVA rifles and since they sell the most guns, many smaller and general (Marts) retailers don't carry it. Most T/C dealers carry though.
I'm sure once another similar powder makes it to market, prices will come down.
