I just ordered two half pound bottles of blackhorn and 209 for $67 plus some tax from Bass pro shops it's free to ship to the store but you have to pay hazmat to ship to your house trying to get it from Hodgdon you will pay additional $44 on top of an $80 price so $128 bucks for a half a pound Stick with Bass pro shops Just letting people know it's back I've been searching forever and many people have been ripped off by fake websites so just trying to help y'all out!
 
Appreciate it. I bought a can recently at Sportsman’s Warehouse. Painful paying $54 for less than a pound.
 
??

Real black powder can be had for roughly $25 a pound after hazmat fees if you buy 25 pounds. Why the heck would I pay that much for a synthetic powder that cannot be ignited by any percussion cap or flint firearm??
 
Aren't babies born naked?? Maybe you meant born with two heads?
That stuff must be magic at those prices for 1/2 pound. I just ordered ten pounds of black powder and with hazmat and shipping it was $26 a pound.

I agree! 'Specially since that Blackhorn crap has a VERY high ignition temp that no percussion cap or flint firearm will ever ignite.
 
Blackhorn is smokeless designed for muzzleloading, that's why it only ignites with a 209 primer... Hence Blackhorn 209. AND... It's only a HALF POUND. Not just less than a pound haha. I've made my own version of this that ignites with a percussion cap (4 parts Autocomp 1 part 777... 200 grains AC with 50 grains 777) that's much cheaper but I'm sure I'll get blasted on the dangers.8 grains is perfect 10 is, I would say Magnum in my 1858 Remington.... Uberti I don't even use 777 anymore for a couple months I've been using this mixture and I don't even really need to clean them immediately like I used to because it's clean.
