I'm seeing at Walmart the last time I was in there. $52
A couple hours from there.. going to try and see if there's anything closer first. Last few stores I've checked have been dry.
Greatly appreciate the offer!
That's freakin insane. Way to expensive.

I don't use bh209 but am just an interested bystander. I think this is fairly recent from the Modern Muzzle Loading forum. It may give some insight but doesn't specifically address why it's the most expensive powder ever.
Hodgdon Customer Service Technician Curtis Danielson sent the following to a forum member.
'Since we do not manufacture this product, we have no control over how much is produced in a given year.
We have explored every option with our Blackhorn209 manufacturing partner to produce more product but we do not believe we will receive enough Blackhorn209 to satisfy consumer demand in 2022.
We know Blackhorn209 is the recommended powder for the CVA Paramount muzzleloader. Hodgdon is in the process of developing load data for Pyrodex and Triple 7 loose powder in the CVA Paramount and will release this data as soon as it is complete.
Hodgdon is committed to supplying propellants to muzzleloader hunting and shooting enthusiasts and will continue to do everything in our power to meet current demand.
I would recommend Pyrodex or Triple seven in the mean time
Thank You for using our powders!

I was looking around on Midsouth Shooters yesterday and they have Blackhorn in stock for $69.99 for 8 oz. INSANITY! They also show a 5 pound jug for $496.99 out of stock. I could not believe what I was seeing.
I will gladly pay for it to keep from having the crud ring and to be able to shoot and load as much as i desire before it has to be cleaned!! I will quit before i go back to triple seven or pyrodex
Trying to get away from pyrodex pellets.. Man are they dirty!
Striking out.. 4 Walmarts later
PSA- I now don't have any BH 209 to part with as a friend is getting some from me tomorrow. Sorry guys.

I fired 20 rounds out of my muzzleloader last week with no wiping the bore & no crud ring…
Bear oil patched roundball & over 62.5 grns of fffg Goex humped up on my powder measure.. (Red Neck Measurement ) That's some slick stuff!
That $25 a pound Goex is looking better all the time..
Plus it's Made in America
Carry on…

I forget too mention.., it took 6-7 patches too clean up.. & 15 minutes of my retirement
I don't understand this. I thought Hodgdon bought whoever makes Blackhorn in Canada? Even if its subcontracted, they don't control manufacturing levels? If not, what's the point in purchasing them?
