Competition for BH209?????
I saw this powder for the first time this weekend. The guy couldn't give me to much information but he gave me a name who could.

It appears that Alliant has changed the name from 'Black Dot' to 'Black MZ'... but as Omega said it is really a version Black Mag. I do not think it will offer much of a price break - but I certainly do not know that.

When BlackMag was first out, I got my hands on some. It was a very nice powder to shoot. Easy to clean, and seemed to go off just fine in anything I wanted to load it in. This powder has my interest.

The last pricing i saw was the same as BH209 EXCEPT 102grW=100grV. If its the same then it will cost even more to shoot. Even sold by the pound it would be close to BH209 cost per shot. Their Reloader 7 smokeless though is great if you want to come over to the "dark side".

The price last year I saw was 27.99 for a 12.5 oz jug of Black Dot IIRC. One of the online stores had a picture and price but it was listed as unavailable. I have an email in to one of my contacts to try to find out further.

Reloader7 is $22lb, very consistent, easy to ignite and loves 325gr FTXs. 
Oh and you clean when you want.
Seriously though it amazes me what subs and real BP cost in my area. Only Grafs BP is kinda cheap. Even Pyro is usually over $20lb.
