Where to get Blackhorn 209
 
I am wanting to try BH 209 but can't find any one local that carries it. Basspro does not have it on there web site and I am not going to drive over an hour to find out if they have it in there stores.

Is there any one around the Lake of the Ozark that carries BH 209? or any living around the lake that knows where to get it locally?

Call Basspro or email them to see if they have any in stock in the outlet thats near you. I almost was gonna drive 6 hrs to get some then came to my senses, luckily I kept checking a couple of local shops every couple of months and finally one of them had some.

I got mine at BassPro. Cabela's carries it also.

Midway usa has a city counter for anyone who wishes to pick up their order. That is pretty close to you. Bass Pro carries bh209,very expensive there.

"Bass Pro carries bh209,very expensive there."

Amen to that. After I purchased, other stores started carrying it.....$10 bucks cheaper. I couldn't time my way out of a paper bag. LOL

Finally got to go to Bass Pro today and bought some BH 209 and CCI 209 primers. Where should I start with the charge. I was shooting 90g of Pyrodex, then just recently switched to 90g of 777 with very tight groups at 80 yrds. I am shooting T/C Shock Waves 250g.

Where are you located? Been trying to find CCI primers locally, no luck.

I got them at Bass Pro down in Springfield, Mo.

I weigh all of my loads as I have not figured out what in sams hill is the standard for a "volumetric" measurement. After a few phone calls and reading everything I could find on this powder, I choose to use .668gr weight to equal 1gr vol.meas? I start with 66.8gr(wt)= 100gr(vol?) . Out of our TC Omega and TC Encore we are using by weight 68.5gr BH209 using 250gr Barnes TMZ boat tails w/Win 209 primers. I tried up to 73gr(wt),ouch,it hammered me and was too much for the 250gr sabot.

Just shot 10 rounds out of my Wolf using BH 209, CCI 209M. Didn't have a target up to see how well I was shooting, but was hitting about the same spot on the stump every time. I was worried it won't shot more than maybe one or two if any. But it shot all 10 very nicely. What a RUSH.

I shot the TC shockwaves out of my TC Pro Hunter with 115gr of BH 209 and using Harvester black CR sabots. Shot a 1" 5 shot group @ 100.

SJAdventures 01-01-2011 02:47 PM

Try the Yellow Harvester CR sabots with the Barnes TMZ.
