RE: loose powder score
Man, do I miss Indiana. The Wal-Marts there always had a good post season sale on Pyrodex. I still have several lbs. from post-season buys 5 or 6 years ago.
Here in politically correct NY, you see very little pyrodex (or anything else)for sale during the season and none on sale afterwards. And even then it's Pyrodex pellets sold in quantities of a dozen or so at some exorbitant price.
When Hillary becomes President, this unfairness will be corrected..... We'llALLbe hurtin'! :-(
