[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4804287, member: 15365"] 3 Firestars weigh 12gr more than 2 Triple7 pellets so yes its gunna make more speed. Same composition just a new shape. 3 Firestars is the new approved load by Hodgdon. You could spend a bit less and run 2 T7 Mag pellets. That is also an approved load by Hodgdon and therefore within the max in the manual. Traditions took the high road by putting that burden on the powder manufactures. BH209 makes similar speed but it makes less peak pressure than 3 T7 pellets. Just like i could use N110 vs 4759 to get similar speed but the N110 will make a higher peak using less powder by weight. Ive shot a heckuva lot of BH209 so when i hear "it worked then but not now".....Something aint right. There is another problem that has been missed or something changed. BH209 dont go bad when stored properly. Its a nitrate ester based powder similar to smokeless. [/QUOTE]
