Aquisition of black powder

[Ranch 13]

Go to the AZwins web site and get in contact with Bill. There are muzzleloaders that shoot at the Ben Avery, plus a bunch that shoot black at the range over in Mesa, Yuma and Tucson, and Flaggstaff.
If you can't find powder local, then ordering from Powder Inc, Grafs, Powder Valley, Coonies, or Bear River powder are all good options.
Sort of get the giggles and grins when I see folks whining about the hazmat fee, cuz they are evidently letting their women folk take care of gassing up the tin lizzy and don't realize just how far you can or can't drive on 23 dollars worth of gas....

I am not sure that it is the Federal storage requirements. My belief is that it falls more to state and local storage requirements that cause dealers to not want to worry about it. State inspectors come around more frequently than the feds.

Graf & Sons have reasonable minimum (4 pounds), hazmat is $23.50 and shipping is $12.95 per order. Right now powder is 15% off. I have bought from them a couple of times with no problems.

I live in Yuma and when I needed powder I just ordered it from
graf&Son when available. It isn't a big deal, just do it.

The reenactor powder is a powder made to a lower cost point to be used in blank cartridges for reenactors. It does foul a lot more than the better grade and more expensive powder for rifles, shotguns or pistols. It is not necessarily as consistent in performance as the other graded powders. We do use Reenactor Grade powder in my unit for blank cartridges and live rounds. Our accuracy is such that we gain little benefit from a more expensive powder. It can be used for cannons.

Problem is local stores won’t stock BP because they don’t have the correct storage facilities to meet federal requirements! Why people buy Pyro junk!!

Ha Ha That Pyro junk has put a lot of meat in my freezer and I bet quite a bit in other peoples freezers too.

I wouldn’t want to anger my guns with pyrodex. Happy gun happy life! 90% of them wouldn’t even go off with it.
