Default may have found an real black powder 2hours away

prices sound ok. I would have to do the math between shipping and gas,

being 2 at most 3 hours away one tank of gas would get me home.
does this place's price sound ok?

Pick up a can of the Null-B if you go there. That is suppose to be faster than 7F. powder. I have seen a speed chart of pan powders. And that stuff is the fastest. You can't get it around here anywhere that I know of. And 1# of that would last you a real long time if you only use it for a charging powder.

The prices look pretty fair. Are those shipped prices?? Or those prices plus shipping?? If those are shipped prices then that is cheaper than anywhere else I have seen by about $1 a pound.

Check out the 10# Graf and Son's order. That price is not real bad, and if you don't need 10# then find a local friend or two. Tom.

Their black powder prices look very good, but like it says call first.
They're pretty well known.

I don't think it includes shipping and hazmat. I may personally only get 10lbs so I would be looking at most $20/lb still is almost $5 less per lb then what i can get it locally and they don't carry 4f.

if I take my truck that is an tank of gas at currant prices. if I take jess' car, 2 tanks of gas. lol

Corey,
I would figure out how much the shipping plus the hazmat would come to. I figure when you add it all up it cost about 60 cents a mile to drive. I am tempted to order some Swiss powder.

Well, thanks Corey for the info. I'm gong to be going down to visit my daughter in FL next month so I will have to swing by there on my way down, or home and buy some powder. That is a great price. I think I was paying almost $20 a lb for Goex.

That's popping a bunch of caps. I just finished off my first 2 cans of powder after over 20 years. But I only used it for hunting and the original sight ins.
