That is ridiculous. I had seen it on the shelf at Walmart for $50 a while back and thought that was too high for a 12 oz can. Guess I should have bought some to resell. lol
You sure it was 12 ounce can. Started out in 10 ounce cans and went to 8

It was 8 oz cans recently that I saw for $53 each. I bought 2 lbs of it. I'm set for probably forever
Nah. It burns almost as clean as rifle powder, but as far as accuracy it's no more tuneable than any of the other subs in my experience. It really is nice not having to clean as much or as long with it tho.

I think it is. If you haven't tried it, maybe you should.
I kinda figured it was legit when I seen everyone paying that for it. Of course I decide to get in when it's inflated lol
Blackhorn has its pros and cons. It really isn't any less corrosive than 777 (I clean both if I take a shot and won't be using the gun again for at least half a day), it is actually harder to clean than 777 (777 always has cleaned up quickly for me with water, whereas Blackhorn requires powder solvent, elbow grease, and time), but Blackhorn provides more velocity, and doesn't give the buildup/crud rings between shots.
I'm honestly considering going back to 777 due to crazy prices and the pain in cleaning the Blackhorn

This is why, when I hear someone say "I'll not pay those high prices, I'll wait till they come down" I know they'll never buy any and never reload. It may become more available, but the price will likely remain the same, if not go even higher.
As long as it's available i will pay for it! I will never deal with crud rings again! Being able to shoot 50 in a row if i so choose is worth it to me!
It's crazy that it's gone up so much but I'm also surprised none of y'all have mentioned that the shelf life has been tested to be much better than 777. You don't have to buy a new canister every year. So if you shoot your Muzzleloader a lot and can deal with the crud ring, I might just use 777. If you still have plenty of BH and want to keep using it, I'd make every charge count.

Got an email from brownells yesterday that they have blackhorn and several other items in stock. I looked and it was $82 for one 8 oz can. Crazy.....
