The solution is simple....
"STOP BUYING IT"
"STOP HOARDING"
"DONT BUY WHAT YOU DONT NEED"
"HELP YOUR FELLOW HUNTERS THROUGH THE NEXT SEASON OR TWO, (YES, that might mean parting with some of your personal stash")

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!
BOYCOTT PRICE GOUGERS, AND FLIPPERS.

There are a lot of various smokeless builds avail now. Everything from 1300.00 brake action conversions to LR BR Comp bolt actions. Then theres the re-emergence of the TC Omega's being converted to smokeless rigs. I have one in .40 1:14 Brux Omega & another in a small cal. Next will be a .45 1:18 build. I have two muzzleloaders that I've upgraded & now shoot straight smokeless powders out of. There really are quite a few options one can take, its all in knowing about reloading, what powders do what with X bullet at Y velocity, at what pressure peak & curve, You'd be amazed at the options one has with a little education & creative outside the box thinking.

You may have missed my point. There is not other substitute black powder that has all the qualities of BH209. Other substitutes have other issues like cleanliness, corrosiveness, lack of energy, etc.

Yes - we can all just shoot smokeless MLers, if its permissible, but that's like saying we can all shoot crossbows or handguns as options to using our muzzleloaders.

Someone will make a lot of money as soon as they develop a clean burning, high energy BP substitue that cost $40 a pound.

What are using now? It's hard to avoid these behemoths. It looks like the other companies are jumping on the band wagon as well. The only way it is coming down in price is if it sits on shelves and warehouses for a while. Competition is the answer, but barriers to entry are tough to overcome.

Actually, anyone can file an FTC complaint about non-competitive practices and VISTA has definitely become the Google of the shooting world.
