Default The search continues

I have a gig in Chicago this weekend.
Some of the band members drove and left on Monday
They have been stopping at Cabelas,Bass Pro and assorted sporting goods stores with a shopping list for me.
On the list is BH 209 and Blackpowder 3fG & 4fG for my flinter.
No luck at 4 different stores.

Maybe I'll get lucky.
I am trying to avoid that hazmat fee.

Cabela's claims to have the BlackHorn and so does Mid South Shooters Supply. As for black powder, I swear that is getting harder and harder to locate.

Don't know if you are coming through NC or not...Bass Pro in Charlotte has it (Goex)but I usually buy mine from the Goex Distributor, Parks & Sons...They are just west of Winston and a pound is only $11.55...I stopped in there last month and stocked up...

From what I found out from local dealers, it is theinsurance companies. They have gone and insome cases have doubled the premium and many stores are saying it too expensive. What a shame. At this rate, we will be at a loss for blackpowder.

Don't know what we will do for our FLs. I have yet to find a sub that will firein mine. [:@]
