[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 3093750, member: 112241"] Well, I wish I had thought ahead. Starting a few years ago I invested every week for a year and got enough powder and primers to last the rest of my life. In addition to smokeless, that included FFg and FFFg black powder, as well as 777 and Pyrodex. When shopping once at Powder Valley I actually had 5 lbs of BH in my basket and removed it. As I recall it was about $15-$20 a pound! After all this stocking up I got the inline 209 rifles from a friend, and never thought about it again. I also didn't know until now that there was such a thing as a "muzzleloading" 209!? All my 209's are CCI or Fiocchi and a couple of other brands I also use in a MEC 600 Jr. for standard shotshells, so maybe I'm missing something there as well, but the regular shotgun 209's seem to ignite everything with no issues. Hopefully the BH will come back down eventually. If you think about it, there's no reason for it to be so ridiculously high; it's not like the military is using it up. [/QUOTE]
