Post by: JakeLand on June 20, 2024, 08:23:04 AM: To me Blackhorn is worth it , the price is stupid as hell but how consistent it shoots and how easy it is to reload many many shots before having to clean is awesome

Primers were around $30 too.

If stored properly…..65 - 75 degrees in a dry place….forever.

I email them every month or so and tell them they should be ashamed of themselves for raising the price. They claim the material prices went up, but their 777 and others have not. More people should complain. when I run out, Im done with them.

Post by: JBar on July 26, 2024, 08:19:13 PM: I don’t even use it and at this point won’t even think about it.
:tup: I’ll stick with my 777 pellets unfortunately Hodgden owns that too :bash:

Sounds good. Not sure my temperature fluctuations were quite that tight but hopefully it will be fine. Have a good season.
