I got a can of BH209 and all I can say is if you like 777 or pyrodex you might want to stock up cause this stuff will make them obsolete. I was shooting 90gr. and a 250gr SST and got tennisball sized groups at 100yds from my Omega. There was little smoke and shot 18 loaded just as easy as shot 1. I cleaned the gun just like a smokeless gun in just a few minutes with Hoppe's #9 with no problem,whatever residue their was came right out and the bore was mirror smooth. What 777 I've got I'll seal it up and put it away for an emergency but short of that It'll never go in my gun again. I'm 100% sold on BH.

Its nice to see people getting on board with BH209. I was an early user of the stuff back in 2009 when the only thing you could find were write ups on the internet. I've been more than happy with it.

Does your Omega shoot the Federal BOR bullet ok with other powders? Many T/C owners report that their rifles don't shoot full bore projectiles very well with any powder. The QLA is sometimes cut off center to the bore.

Its all ive used in my smokers since roughly 2009 also. My Knights love the stuff. Get it in the 5lb jugs to save some money.

no the federals shot bad with 777 .i sure was wanting them to but they didnt .777 and the tc 250 gr bullets are a 1 inch group at 50 yard .my omega is one of the older ones think its 15 to 16 year old .was thinking the newer ones might have a difrent barrel twist .the one i have has a little longer barrel than the newer ones .thought it could be to slow ???but over the summer i will find a load in the bh209 likes in it ?
