Goex Products

[Whughett]

Just got in an order from Grafs. 10 pounds, mix 2F and 3F and 1 pound of 4F.
All Grafs house brand, which currently is Wano Industries. Schuetzen. . Good enough for this pilgrim.
Brings my supply up to 35 pounds. Some of it Goex. I’m challenged to tell the difference at my level of revolver shooting.
I’m just mentioning that there are other black powders available.

My BP club has purchased cases of Schutzen from “Travelers Antiques and Trading” in Tx. The cost after shipping and Hazmat to Ca. came to $27 a lb.
Doc,

Don’t badmouth a Quarter Pounder W/Cheese! Smells like an armpit…but tastes really good!

Or the Royale with Cheese when in France

Doc,

Their website says they have to sell with a hazmat fee of $48 for per.

We're on track to restart production soon.

Yes, we are hiring and looking for some good maintenance operators.

This is the reason to order in quantities it spreads the shipping and Hazmat out to just a little per lb. So by the case delivered to Ca. came to $27 a lb.
Doc,

Being reported that McDonalds is suffering a burger flipper shortage as GOEX hires them at their current salary to make explosive black powder.

Believe it or not, McD's pays like 15 bucks an hour now!

Preferably non-smokers!

Good to hear! When down to my last couple pounds of Old Eynsford, I finally broke down and ordered ten pounds of 3f Swiss from Graf's. Looking forward to the day when I can order more Old Eynsford.

Ya and that is more then I got paid for being a fitter/welder for a bridge company. All they have to do is flip hamburgers and act like they hate their job.

The sign says "up to $15.00/hour". Doesn't mean they start out there. It's a scam like everything else these days.

Some in my area are paying $18 to start at fast food joints.

In the end, it's all about the local economy. A young person starting out in a job that they have no experience in might be thrilled to start at 15.

I'm kind of scratching my head how McDonalds got into this topic and thread. Maybe McD's will become a vendor, then we could pick up our BP in the "drive thru"

Hey Karl. It’s been good seeing you pop in from time to time. Have you been using Swiss or Scheutzen while you’re waiting for production to start rolling or d you have a secret stash? ;-) I haven’t used GO-EX in some years, mostly Swiss and had started using some Olde Eynsford when production halted. That was very good powder and if you can produce it’s equal now I’ll definitely be a user. Keep up the good work!

PS… have you thought of producing percussion caps? I’m sure there’d be a significant
startup cost but a reliable year round source for high quality caps would have customers lining up at your door…

 

[maillemaker]

Can someone point out the Goex powder making facilities on Google Maps? I found the address but nothing that looks like a powder mill far away from other things.

We’re getting close to restarting. I've just started getting into black powder shooting, but a friend of mine has some powder.
We have thought about percussion caps. We started looking at it, but the focus has been on getting powder back into production. Once we get the powder going, we'll see about the caps.

If you start making musket and revolver caps I'll drive down to Louisiana and give you a kiss!

Red can Goex will come first since it's faster to make and in high demand, but we'll get Olde Eynsford running again too later this year.

I'm sure there good people ....however I have looked into then and saw that as well, would have to be a last resort kind of thing unfortunately
