Blackhorn 209 price "what the hell"

[Hnthrdr]

Switched back to trip 7 since it got so silly, just a tad dirtier, but have killed with it before and will do again

I'm sticking with triple 7.

777. I shoot to much to spend for BH209. To each his own.

 

[Ucsdryder]

I refuse. 777 for me.

it was going on gunbroker for $400-500 per 8oz bottle last september.

when my current stash is used up i'm going back to 777, don't need the extra 100 fps bad enough to mess around with the new cost and chronic shortage of BH209.

Holy shit. I am sitting on a gold mine if it was going for that price.

At Sportsman's Warehouse in Show Low AZ. Looks like I'm staying with triple 7.

They can sit on it. I don't remember what I paid for mine but nowhere close to that.

Hodgdon got a really good example of what demand is of BH. It can be found pretty easily now around here and its running $65 for 8oz. Still to high IMO.
Problem is, the retailers paid a hefty price for it themselves from the distributors.
It might come down some, but don't expect pre-covid prices ever again. Like everything else, prices are through the roof. I picked up a 1/4" threaded rod, 3' long for a stand for shooting steel. That little piece of steel cost me $21.

777 shot like crap in my ultra lite

Check your Sportsman warehouse asap, I picked some up for 69, it rung up 79 at register, but they honored the 69, since it was still labeled that way on the shelf.

I was cruising through Walmart last year right before season and I ran through the hunting section just to see what was up. I caught them putting out BH209 and they were stocking primers. Literally the jackpot.

I bought 2 jugs of BH for me and a pack of primers for a friend. BH was $42.99ea. Earlier that year I got a new Accura MRX and had paid a stupid price for 2 packs of CCI Magnum 209s in preparation of finding some BH. It popped in stock and I think after the hazmat, I paid close to $80 for 200 magnum primers because I had to.

Shortly after that, I noticed BH prices going WAY up, even at that same Walmart, and now they're constantly $80 for a jug. My local Cabelas has a ton of it on the shelf for $79.99. Ridiculous.

Those two jugs of BH should last me a long while. I hunt black powder one weekend a year. Normally I see my best deer that weekend though.

I got lucky. I found a 10oz jug in 2021 before the price went up. I found an 8oz jug this year at Walmart before they jacked their price up too. I just can't find the recommended primers and at the price it is now, I don't want waste it playing around.

What the hell is up with the price of blackhorn 209? I seen an 8oz jug at sportsman's for $80. That is crazy.

What is even crazier is a bought several jugs before even buying my first muzzleloader!!

Who cares about the BH, is that a stack of 209 primers in the background?!?

Stacks of those Cheddites everywhere I go….

These prices are why I have only done archery or rifle for the last 2 seasons. Have a little BH left, but just would rather bow hunt than pay these crazy prices.
