Yes, the pellets are even worse. At least they can say it cost a lot to make the pellets. No idea if that's true, or not.

BH shouldn't cost anymore than any other smokeless to make. I've never seen any smokeless powder that only comes with only 10oz.

One advantage I have by shooting close is I don't need heavy loads of BH. So, I save some money. 80gr is plenty for my distances. I know 100gr loads is 62 loads from a bottle. I'm doing better than that. You must be using 110-120?

Hey guys - I know it's hard at your age - but let's focus on the post topic and stop going off on your tangents. LOL
Point is PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING WHEN LOADING YOUR MUZZY.

What more do you want to say about it?

Why didn't you get one that shot 3.250" groups at 400 yards that also shot BH209? Sounds like that would of been a win-win.

100grs by WEIGHT...... 143 grs VOLUME

Not shooting it any more, cut a breech plug. Probably my fault.

It ain't that bad. You won't go out and shoot 30 to 50 rounds per session without a lead sled though.

I made my own mistake, one not made for a long time. I loaded a bullet without propellant that I had to pull. Witness marks are a requirement.

I just noticed the gun you're using. Try that load in a 6 1/4lb Wolf. It will smack you upside the head.

Just add a brake. Actually the Carbon Xpress, the lightest of the rifles, shoots with less recoil.
