Alberta Black Powder

Received an email from ABPA. Contact Ken Steinhauer at 780-289-6346 by Sept 15. He's putting an order in.

For folks in the south, my job enables me to get loads up to Edmonton or Grande Prairie so maybe some shipping can be saved if you're not in a particular rush.

Local gun show last weekend, pretty disappointing compared to past years but saw 6 or 8 traditionals which is noticeable more than some shows.

A modest amount of real Black available. Scheutzen, Swiss and another brand which escapes me. I want to say Hogdon but it doesn't seem right. Real Black, not Pyrodex.
Prices were better than a year ago at a bigger show, $50-60 a lb. Encouraging.

Ouch! I don't want to make you cry but it's around $25 down here. I've spent a lot of time in the Yukon and still have friends there. I've seen Canada go down that slippery slope with firearms laws and was for a while more legal in Canada that my Canadian friends were. I see the same thing happening in the US and it won't be long before we are all in the same boat, I just hope it's not a submarine!

If you think 60 bucks a pound is encouraging, then you, Sir, are the eternal optimist.

$85 a year ago. And only one type and grade available. Yeah, I'm optimistic with the way things seem to be headed.

Yup the dealers selling powder at the shows should be wearing a mask and have a gun in hand cause they’re crooks .and get away with cause they are the only ones selling powder.yuppers bend over and grab your ankles you good old Canadian boys and take it like a man .
