Maybe the best on the range I have ever seen but not the best for hunting...Don't kid yourself this powder has hang fire issues with going in and out of cold...I never had this issue with pellets and 209's....but BH....hangfires are a fear...that use to be my fear when shooting cap powder and ball....but many never out of a hot 209? Now I shoot the hot cci 209m and have hangfire issues...yes I am loading tight yes I am doing right....BH209 IS A HANGFIRE POWDER!!!!!! Not that it is not good but its biggest issue is why these hang fires are coming after hunting with the gun in the field and then when the time comes.........hangfire...!!!
