Yeah, it's probably lead contaminated If you want to purchase cheap powder check your local Wal Mart around December-Janurary. I bought 1lb cans of Pyrodex RS, and boxes of 50gr Pyrodex pellets for $4 a piece. Stock up....

The only way to get a deal on powder is to watch for sales. Wal Mart is best know for the end of the season sales. I normally pick up ten pounds of Pyrodex there and some pellets. The other way is to buy direct from a supplier like Powder Inc, Graf's & Sons and pay the hazmat. If you get a case of powder the hazmat is under a buck a can. For black powder that means I can shoot it for around $11.00 a pounds. Which is not all too bad.
