A Quick GOEX Update

If your shooting bigger bore muzzleloaders, you can go through a pound in an afternoon pretty easily.
Those things are hungry. Good to see some available at a lower price. They may be making room for the next shipment.

Some of us have the equipment, and the necessary space to make our own powder, many do not. I welcome the return of USA made BP!

Your right about that, caliber makes a difference.

Congratulations on your promotion to mod status…

…But this continues we are going to have to start mining bat caves…

Won’t that upset Bruce, ****, and Alfred?!?

It doesn't take much of an investment in infrastructure to make your own powder. I'm finding that out. Yes, you will need to spend a little money to start but it's not as bad as people might think.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered some!!

Also a writing by Hank Fannin about lighten your load and why.

Just google it, there were dozens of news stories about it.

Read it in an article last year, IIRC. I'll try to find it.

 

[Boom Stick]

oops, just saw that others joined in to confirm, thanks guys!

If you are involved in the shooting sports you must get involved with political discussions else there will be no shooting sports in the future.

True, true.
If you don't pay attention to politics then one day you will wake up a 'Subject' to a government you don't recognize and wonder why.
Like my wise father told me many years ago; "If you don't vote then you have no right to complain", he also said "If you don't play the game then you can't win".

a pack of committed muzzle loading enthusiasts looking to replenish their powder magazines might be crafty enough to sneak past that old bat

Was curious, just checked Graf site. Price hasn’t changed since my last order. Graf brand $22.39, Schuetzen $23.29, Swiss $30.99 and all, 2F, 3F, etc was in stock. Of course prices don’t reflect hazmat & shipping.

Out of those three, which one(s) produce the best results? The only BP I can ever remember shooting is GOEX.

Swiss is the best, but, the most expensive. I found I can reduce the charge by at least 10% over Goex. However, Goex is good powder, and I'm sure the new owner will be just as good, or maybe even better.

Thank you. Where can Swiss be purchased?

I had a thread a little while ago on Goex vs Schuetzen. My finding was they shot the same but Schuetzen is cleaner. I don’t have to swab as often. I’m shooting .32&.36 rifles. My guns clean faster with Schuetzen also. I have enough Schuetzen on hand now to last me for years. I haven’t tried Swiss yet but want to.
