Thanks Karl, look forward to buying a tin or two.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am ready to use GOEX!I hear your concerns about Goex and I want to reassure everybody that we absolutely support black powder shooting. This community is very important to us. I became a N-SSA member and will be shooting at the spring nationals (smoothbore and carbine company matches, 46th Illinois).
Yes, the military has been an important part of getting us up and running, but they're not our only customer. We're getting ready to restart production and can't wait to get black powder back on shelf this summer at distributors and dealers.

I sure don't know about BP shortage because of Ukraine, but I do know that DOD is buying up all the black powder just like awhile back they were buying up all the .556 ammunition. Shoot, up until about 5 months ago, I was able to stroll into my favorite store (Mountain Man, Manitou Springs, Colorado) and buy 5 lbs of BP without any problems. I went in a couple weeks ago and was only allowed to buy one pound of FFg and one pound of FFFg. That's it! They told me that they are having a lot of trouble buying any BP because the feds are sucking it all up! BTW, the BP I bought that say cost me more than double what it cost a few months ago! They told me that they're not even making any money on selling BP as it's almost impossible to buy and costs them exactly what they're charging for it.My gunny mate said, they use BP. In modern shells to help ignition, perhaps the Ukrane war has caused a BP shortage. True or false ??????
My cousin in Perth Oz eats hard boiled eggs with their shells on. Crunches the shells with his teeth swallows the lot, he’s gone bush, disgustingI love beer and eggs but not inclined to mix them.
