Bh209

[Cahunter805]

Just wondering if anyone had had a bad experience with this powder? Im really considering switching to it in my T/C Omega for this year. I will be shooting 250gr barnes TMZ mainly. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks in advance.

Works great in my Omega. I have shot as many as 30 times in a row without a single swabbing. I only shoot conicals, so can't help you with sabots.

I run it in my triumph and get excellent groups. I shoot the 145 barnes spitfires. The tmz's didn't get as good groups for me as the spitfires. I highly recommend the bh209...well worth the money spent. Like txhunter I also have gone 30+ shots without swabbing. Good luck, you will love it.

I just re-read my post. I meant to put 245 grain spitfire.

I too love it! 25-30 shots before cleaning. I shoot the Hornady 250 SST with low drag sabot.

I do like BH209! In fact it is the only powder that has been through my Omega. I have had outstanding success with 120 gr BH209 and 300 gr SST/SW and the 290 gr Barnes. Each of these are printing sub 1.5 MOA at 300 yards for me.

alp, what primer do you use in your with that setup

 

[Cahunter805]

Bambi What primers are you using? Have you ever tried as light as 245? Im hunting in CA and our blacktails arent very big. A 300gr may be overkill!!!

I am using Winchester 209A primers. I have shot the SST 250 gr and had decent groupings but not quite as good as the 300 gr bullets. With 120 gr BH209, Win 209A, and a 250 gr SST, my Omega will hold 2 MOA at 200 yards. This will be my setup if I draw an Ibex tag with ML this year. For muleys I only swapped the Bonded 300 gr for a standard 300 gr bullet.

Wow - Super results. I (we) still have stayed with the Shockwaves w/superglide sabots. I shoot only 85 gr of 209 and have 3/4" groups @ 100 yds. Omega.
