Holy smokes.

 

[GodLY08]

Thanks for the information!

Hodgdon now has a monopoly on all of the available Black Powder substitutes.

This is the reason they can charge over $80 for a half pound of BH209.

Time for somebody to produce an alternative...

Is this as a result of the RCBS acquisition? Or independent of that?

 

[smokepolehall]

That Company is sure working to own everything

Is their N32C powder safe to use in muzzies?

From my testing with different loads in "MY CVA Scout 45-70 conversion" with the longer DI ASG replacement plug that is specifically setup for lighter saboted/bore rider loads. N110 is safe in "MY CVA Scout 45-70 conversion".

sounds like a cool setup and a ton of fun. I wouldn't say it's a BH209 substitute though. For those of us who have modern conventional inline muzzle loaders we are stuck between a rock and a hard place

Its not a substitute. BH209 is not in the same league as N110. It's far superior. Yeah, it sounds like y'all are if your state doesn't allow it.

Not sure I'm a fan of that. Hogdon has been a good solid company. But they have bought up alot of powder companies. Need diversity.

I currently have ten # of T7 and around four of BH. Sure glad I bought when I did.

 

[LBAhunter]

I got 2 jugs of BH209 I need to use. I just hate to waste the primers on it.

Sounds like a damn monopoly to me hmm we should do something about this

More consolidation, less diversity and competition = higher prices. Watch, The BH209 8 oz. bottle will soon be north of $100. Jokes aside, it's making me seriously think about going smokeless.

Me personally I never got into BH 209. For my sidelocks and inlines I’ve stayed with Black Powder.
I actually enjoy the smoke and smell. It’s what I started with over 40 years ago.
Cleaning is tedious, but if you have a system it’s not bad to me.
What I have done is delve into the smokeless.
I have a 10 ML converted to 209 instead of the module that I bought from a member on here.
And have on order a Patriot.
Been reloading for over 40 years so the switch to smokeless is less daunting.

Send me a PM, if you want to look at some options.
