Does anyone know where you can order black powder in a quantity of less then 50 lbs. I don't think I could shoot up 50 lbs. Everyone I've found is into the unspeakable loaders and pellets :shocked2: . I'm stuck with shooting pyrodex powder because it's all I can get my hands on. I can't find any sidelock guys around here or I would offer to go in on a 50 lb. order. Maybe you guys might have some ideas?

I just got 5#'s from Powder inc. 4#'s FF KIK and 1# FFF KIK. Delivered to my door. They have Swiss, Goex and KIK
You can get 25 lbs at a time from J&J Pyrotechnics or Maine Powder House

www.powderinc.com will do 5, 10 and 25 pound assortments. Their regular price is 10% lower than TOTW's "Year end sale" special. :haha:
Trouble is, the Haz Mat fee is based on the carton, not the quantity inside.

On the invoice I have from J&J Pyrotechnics, the HAZMAT fee is rolled into the shipping fee.... not enough info to say if its flat rate or mileage based... but from PA to AZ the HAZMAT and shipping cost came to $51 for the 25 lb case. Total cost for 25 lbs, delivered, was $266.
And as an aside, the HAZMAT doesn't get you careful handling... someone dropped something on the carton heavy and hard enough to leave a good mark on the cardboard case, and to crush the top of one of the cans inside :shocked2:

Not real brite for whoever did it. Some of the folks that work for UPS ya just have to wonder about.

Which is why I don't get too excited about BP storage in general...I keep it in the exact same cardboard shipping carton that it arrives in...I figure if Goex is stable enough to be abused all across the country, on and off trucks, etc, in a simple cardboard box, I'm not going to worry about special storage magazines, outbuildings, etc...sits on the floor of a closet, out of the way in a general purpose room that only I use for hunting / shooting things, etc.

Check out the HazMat policy at[url] http://www.grafs.com[/url]. It's generally $20. But if you order so much, they will waive.

Hey Roundball, I believe that they sell only by the case. I picked up a case of 3f back in June, it cost me $224.00.
Congratulations on your extrodinary hunting season :hatsoff:

"I just realized I never heard back from you on that Bob...so they will also sell over the counter? Loose cans or case only?"
J&J sells case lots and you need to contact a day or so prior so they can get what you want from the main storage area. Wonderful folks to deal with I buy 25 lb lots from them for CAS as well as muzzleloading.
