Buying REAL Black Powder
Now that I have a new flintlock on the way, I find the need to buy REAL black powder. I have no retail store around the area that sells black powder. I found this website http://www.powderinc.com. The price isn't really bad but you have to buy 5lb or more. Its 22 dollars a pound if I buy 5lbs. Is that a good buy? Has anyone bought powder from these guys? Every other website I've found makes you buy a 25lb box. I'm tempted to order some.

Not sure what brnd you are buying. It sounds like Swiss. I buy Goex and am buying it locally for what amounts to about $13.50 a pound. My friends buy it in 25 lb. containers and then pure it out into our one pound metal cans. But I do know that Goex can be bought for a lot chepaer then $22 a lb.

Don't know where you're located in Montana 50Cal, but if you're anywhere near Miles City you can buy it a lot cheaper directly from the GOEX distributor there.

The closest distributor to me is about 150 miles away. But he will bring my powder order and meet me closer to my home when he travels in my direction.
