Midsouth, Hodgdon and Grafs have it at the moment as well. And it’s “on sale” at Midsouth…

Every time I see the price now. I am glad I bought a bunch of 10 ouncers when I did.

I'd gladly trade some 209 for n570, RL17, h1000....

Just filled up 16 charge tubes last night with the last of my stash that should last me through september muzzleloader seasons.

At least I get another year until I need to sell a kidney for a jug of blackhorn.

Crazy how this stuff has increased in the last few years. Supply / demand, i guess.

It went up in large part because Hodgdon bought out Western powders in 2020.

Wasn't Ramshot part of that deal as well? Ramshot powders are some of the cheapest around these days.

Blackhorn 209 doesn’t have a direct competitor which is the biggest reason it can cost so much.

If you can’t get H4350 on the other hand there are half a dozen options that will give you the same velocities and burn rates.

Yes. They're some of the cheapest, for now....

I'm down to my last can of BH209 with a muzzleloader tag in my pocket this year. Hopefully next year I draw rifle tags and don't have to buy more BH209 for a while.

But that didn't keep H4350 from skyrocketing in price. What the hell is up with IMR? H4350 is $67.99 locally. IMR4350 is $79. Not once in my life have I wanted IMR over H4350.

Along with the federal fire sticks sucking up all the bh209.

Brownell's and Midway have it in stock.

worth trying for a newb? Have just used pellets previously

 

[ElDiablito]

Best there is.

 

[tesilential]

Thank you sir

It's about as close to smokeless gunpowder that you can get for a muzzleloader. Shoots a lot cleaner than Pyrodex or Triple 7. Depending on the gun you have, you might have to get a different breech plug.
