I did find this today if you need any. PM if you want the info. I appreciate it. I may just have to settle for Triple 7. But, ml season is a long ways out so I may just give it a couple months.

Triple 7 is still dirty, and you have to clean/swab religiously. But it goes bang in a pinch. BH209 is a different beast, and not comparable to me. Awesome stuff!
Yeah, hopefully things loosen up, but not real optimistic with chatter we are hearing. I have been stocking up on supplies when prices are right for awhile. I would say our close group is pretty well off, so should be able to weather the storm.

I hadn't updated this in awhile so I figured I should.
So, after exhausted searches for BH209 and Barnes sabots, I give up. Seems impossible to find in stock.
The combo I decided on is Triple 7 FFFg (found 3lbs worth)with HML Scorpion PT gold sabots in 260 grain.
I hadn't got it sighted in with this combo yet but, hopefully soon.
I will try to remember to post photos or at least the results.

Man. Wish I would’ve known you were looking for Blackhorn. When I bought mine at Walmart a couple months ago they had 6 tubs of it. Almost bought two just because, but one lasts me quite a while.

Did some shooting today with my new load. I didn't think it'd be too bad to zero since I'm already zero'd with my previous set-up. It only took 6 shots. Three rounds touching at 100 yards. Zero complaints here. -Harvester Scorpion PT Gold 50 cal. at 260gr. -110 grains of Hodgdon Triple 7 FFFg loose powder. -Winchester Triple 7 209 primers

I have been keeping an eye out for BH209 still. Another buddy wants a jug. Now since looking, I havent seen any to be had. Good there is alternatives to keep everybody hunting.
