[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1046982, member: 33046"] If you're satisfied with T7, then you should continue shooting it. IMO its much better than Pyro. If you like cleaning it, the crud ring doesn't bother you, then most will understand. Is BH better than T7? THAT is going to depend on who you ask. BH is a very consistent propellant, actually its a smokeless propellant with additional additives, such as sulfur and potassium which help to classify it as a substitute. Its extremely consistent with pressures and velocity, very linear. It does not pressure spike like other substitutes including T7. BH can be measured and shot by weight, where other substitutes should not. Western provides a conversion of volume to weight of .7 So if you want to shoot a 100gr VOLUME load and convert it to actual weight, 100(v) X .7= 70grs(w). It is more energetic than T7, which is why 120grs VOLUME (84grs weight) is a maximum load and NOT 150grs as with T7. With most production rifles, there's virtually no swabbing of the bore required or needed between shots. Even up to 40 consecutive shots. BH cleans with just Hoppe's and you SHOULD NOT use any water based cleaners. Many just run a clean dry patch down the barrel first, then a patch with Hoppe's both sides, clean patches until they come out clean and lubricate. Its the only propellant I'd shoot from my production rifles. Read the entire web site here: [url=http://www.blackhorn209.com/]Blackhorn 209[/url] [/QUOTE]
