Are these 209 powders the same ?

[oilcan]

Went to local sportsman and saw these Blackhorn 209 in the blue container. Are they the same as what I already have in brown container ?

 

[shootem]

Yep

 

[Blank]

Nope, drastically different. Ones $30 more, and drastically over-priced!!!

That’s the new packaging. Main difference is the newer batches have been trending slightly heavier than the originals so if you’re measuring by volume there will be a slight difference in weight.

And it could be related to Hodgdon buying the Blackhorn 209 brand from Western Powders in 2020. I don’t recall when the new packaging came out.

So do they have the powder in the handwarmer section or handwarmers in the powder isle!?!?

They want your hands warmed up when you reach for your wallet,With the price of this stuff!

So do they have the powder in the handwarmer section or handwarmers in the powder there right

Right up at front checkout I guess so they can keep an eye on it.

I wonder how long it takes them to be all gone. It took less time then the 45 minute drive and they was all gone by the time I got to the store down here.
I asked if I could put it on a credit card and the answer was NO.
still looking. LOL

10 ounces is NOT a "keg", it's a can Mr bess!
I have a KEG, which is a full 5 lbs.

Hey Zeke!

It wasn't Me That Started the KEG Thing!

Somebody Mentioned the 10 oz KEG a While Back & Homer Was Kinda GRUMPY about it!

It's Kind of an MM JOKE!

But It is Kinda Like a Bag of Potato Chips!

Does The Can Really need to be that Big if it's only 1/3 Full?

Makes It Look Impressive & Almost Worth 75.00 a MINI-KEG!

That new packaging is at least two years old. I have a couple of them and I didn't buy any last year.

If someone needs BH209 pm me. I know a shop in SE Utah that has some in stock. It's 69.99 a 10oz keg, but it available.

Yet another 10 oz "keg" statement. LOL

I was late to the 10 oz "keg" joke but I get it now because the price seems like it should be for a keg...not a can.

You're nice to let the MM crowd know what's available and where!
Pretty cool when we work together.

They Are Really Starting To GOUGE for the KEG!

Last year I decided to figure out what the cost per shot for 209 is everytime I pulled the trigger. At $50 a keg shooting 120 grains by volume (84 grains by weight) you are getting 52 shots per bottle so basically it's a buck a round just for the powder.

That’s like trying to figure out how much your game meat is a pound, better to not know. Lol
