I have a can of 3fff not being used at home.

There is a hunting store in Lafayette, Indiana that carries black powder.
It's called Arrow Adventures and it's right off I-65.

Watch for any history reinactments coming to you area, usually there is vendor that travels to these events that is a licensed dealer.

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.
As I understand it, the post 911 Federal regulations on "explosives" (which includes black powder butnot include smokeless powder orsubs) require additional annual costs by a retailer and prohibit them from placing it on the shelf with other powders. It must be stored in a special powder magazine. Just too expensive for small shops to deal with, and nothing that big shops want to fool with.

We had a guy in our local area that we got our BP from and he just couldn't keep up with the Gov. BS and insurance premiums. This is how the loony leftist fanatics will get us out of the gun rights business.

Sad how a bunch of $*** brains will win in the end. They will win in theend because we in the shooting sports will not get together and fight as one voice to finally rid ourselves of these low lifes spineless nut jobs. [:@]

I am going to have to just make an internet purchase and pay the charge,I'll just get everything I need at one time,I cant find real Black for my flinter either.

My friends just called me from Chicago,they found the powder but they have to buy an out of state hunting license to buy it.The BS never ends.
One of them wants to buy a gun so they may just get the license and get what I need for me.

Thats about stupid IMO you have the powder for sale in your store but you wont sell it to me because I'm from another state but if I buy this then it's ok
All abot the $$$$$$$$$$$$$

sax, if you cant get it sont worry to much about it.. its good stuff, but your T7 and etc will shoot just as well. Under perfect conditions, it should group maybe 1-1.5inches better on say a 5 shot average. Not a huge deal since you have a 12inch or more kill zone to shoot for

I like it mainly for its easy cleaning and the tighter grouping doesnt hurt. But I wouldnt loose sleep over it if you cant find it yet. Had I not tried or found it, I would still be happy with my T7 pellets
