OT - Sort of, where do you buy your blackpowder?

Post by kimwcook »

All of my local gun stores quit carrying blackpowder. Where do you guys buy your blackpowder on line. I'm looking for Goex Cartridge or Goex Express 2F and I'm not looking to buy a case. Right now, until I figure out which of the two powders my Sharps likes, I don't want to buy 10 lbs. either.

There's no cheap way to buy small quantities of BP unless you are near a retailer.

If I can't get down to Indy/Friendship to buy Bulk these are the places to go.

One of them will sell in quantities as little as 5# IIRC.

For awhile now, I've been buying BP from Powder Inc. You can buy in 5 lbs. lots there. GOEX just had a price increase, effective 10/1 or so.

I've always had good luck with these folks. I get together with a bunch of buddies to split shipping and hazmat...

Forgot that one. Dunno why since IIRC I bought my last 8lb of 2400 from them...

Thanks for the replies. I can't find the blackpowder anywhere on Powder Valley's site. Obviously, I'm missing something.

Hmmm... I don't find any either. Been a while since I got BP from them (BH209, Trail Boss & Unique was the last purchase).
