[QUOTE="Elite Muzzleloader, post: 923549, member: 30759"] I've never tried bh209 in my conversions and from what I've read the powder column isn't big enough to handle allot of powder to do what I think your looking for. However if you can get a 140 to 180 by volume in the rifle and shoot a 275 MH you might be able to shoot 500 yards or even farther with bh209. Yet I'm not an expert so I'd recommend talking to Hillbill or Luke on Doug's. If you get a Pacnor or McGowen build and shoot smokeless you can shoot the 275mh up to 2800 fps or faster with a BC of .384/5 you be able to shoot 800 yards and still have around 800 to 1000 fpe at that distance. My goal is to be shooting the 275 Parker BE's at 2850 with a BC of .250 which should carry 800 fpe at 500. If I can get the MH to shoot MOA or better at 800 I might go that instead. Start shooting my new gun tomorrow. Again I haven't shot bh209 in my conversions so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I wouldn't worry about gander he only focuses on 50 yards. [/QUOTE]
