[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 874035, member: 39764"] A pound of Blackhorn 209 will last a long time. I'm working on 2 years on the first pound I bought and I shoot my front stuffer a lot. Friday after this next one will find me and the CVA out in the woods on private property looking for a nice buck (hopefully). No doe tags to be had around here. They sold out in 30 minutes. My land up north of here, doe tags are unlimited and you can bag 5 per day, there is that many. I sprinkled some 'angle dust' in various spots on the property this afternoon btw. Never been hunted. Been asking the property owner for a few years now and he finally allowed us to hunt, with some stipulations. One, we share the processed venison (no issue) and Two, we remove the entire animal(s) and dress them elsewhere, again, no issue. Seems his dog got very ill after finding and eating deer guts in the woods adjacent to his property. Load development for me was just sighting it in. I started out at 100 grains (volume) and stayed there and kept the same pills, Barnes saboted TMZ's in 290 grain. I badly wanted Thor's but they were sold out of the 300's and I didn't want to drop to 250's. I figured the 300's would print about the same as the 290 TMZ's. I'm getting a 3 shot group (including the first shot on a clean tube), in 2 holes at 100 yards. Thats good enough for my uses. The Nikon is zeroed at 100 as well.. One thing you don't want to do is play switch out on primer brands. Different primers have different flame output and that changes the way the powder burns, impacting the POI. I bought 1000 Federal 209 shotgun primers. That should be enough for a long while. I originally had one box of CCI ML primers and when I switched to the Federals, the POI changed dramatically. Live and learn. I realize this all belongs on another forum/thread but I thought it important so I posted it. Back to regular programming.... [/QUOTE]
