    Blackhorn 209

    I use BH exclusively in ELR competitions. When we had the first minor shortage, I stocked up. There's also a case under the bench. I'll shoot up close to 8,000 grains in two days next month at Camp Atterbury.

    Any long range shooters?

    No one had ever shot to 1K with modern inline rifles, nor had anyone been able to practice. There's no place where I live to practice 1K. I won the inaugural for modern inline. We've learned a lot since that first match and scores have increased. The 40cal rifles are now ruling the modern inline.

    Any long range shooters?

    I didn't shoot this past weekend at Atterbury, and from what I understand there were only 13 people shooting, 2 of them shooting modern inline rifles. Jeff and Chris. Only Chris and I would have been the only modern inline shooters originally, as the base now requires the "Real ID" to get on...

    I shoot two NMLRA registered matches a year to 1,000yds. Shooting is completed at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. So yes, I understand long range load development. See above. Less than a second.

    Any long range shooters?

    Yes, to each his/her own. I pay that much because I like what I'm doing, PLUS............ the wife still approves! I'm not going to carry a pocket full of quarters around for using a payphone, if they still have them, when I can carry a "smart phone" in my shirt pocket. Some people like...

    Any long range shooters?

    I don't shoot traditional rifles anymore. I shot them for decades and now shoot only modern inline rifles. Modern inline long-range bullets are $2.50 each, plus tax, plus shipping. You're talking getting close to $300 for 100 bullets BH209 is EXPENSIVE for only 8oz. Add up the price for a...

    One thing about the rifle, it could be a one-time purchase. On the other hand, every time you touch the trigger, you'll be sending $5.50 to $6.00 down range. I just returned from shooting at Friendship IN. I counted my expired tubes and I sent 60 rounds.

    Any long range shooters?

    Yes sir, of course. Muzzleloaders have been shooting over 1,000yds for over 150yrs. Example: Creedmoor. They are shooting to 1,000yds twice a year at Camp Atterbury, IN. Percussion, BPCR and modern inline rifles.
