[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1405213, member: 33046"] Here's what I know....... BH209 has never been an approved propellant by Remington and never in the owner's manual. A writer started the craze of using BH209 and everyone jumped directly on his writing. Problem is, some at Remington, probably wanting more sales, started telling people that called that the rifle will shoot BH209. Well of course it will! So will the BP Xpress from UF. However, it was well documented by UF, that BH gas cuts breech plugs, even with PERFECT head space. UF warned Remington, which is why Remington never listed it as an approved propellant in the owner's manual. I've been in down right arguments over this, with the opinion to not use BH, but it appears Remington is going to settle the issue. At least it appears so by what they told this owner. [U]My suggestions have always been to follow the manufacturer's recommendations[/U], which never included BH. I learned the lesson the hard way myself. I only shoot T7, rather it be 50/50 or the T7M pellets. I have shot loose T7, which worked fine, and yes it is cheaper. However I NEVER exceed 180grs. [/QUOTE]
