Track of the Wolf (http://www.trackofthewolf.com/categories/tableList.aspx?styleID=94&subID=30&catID=2) sells 25 pound lots of Goex and Swiss. You can customize how many of what you want, 2F 3F ect. Buying it this way knocks a couple of bucks per pound off of the typical retail price. Get a couple of friends together and buy a lot, be enough there to last you a while. From what I have seen this 25 pound case configuration is typical of what mail order places do - I suspect this is in keeping with a Federal reg. of some kind - I am sure someone else on here will know the story on that.

Yup, by federal law the most anyone can buy/send at one time is 50 lbs.

I may end up doing the same thing. Haven't found a spot near Roanoke, VA that sells real BP yet. Anyone know of a place that does?

Here are a couple places to try for powder, last time I looked both would sell less than 25 lb lots, however the hazmat fee is the same for 5 lb as it is for 25lb, so the more powder you buy the less per pound the fee is, also powder Inc varies the price depending on how much powder you buy.

I buy mine from Grafs, the nice thing is they pay shipping, all I had to pay was the hazmat fee.

That may be how they 'advertise' it, but believe me, you're paying for the shipping

I live in Richmond. I'll go in with you if you want to split an order. I usually order from Maine Powder House.

Great Doug! Not ready to order yet, but would be great to split an order with you. Their pricing looks good.

Thanks,

I bought 25 lbs from Graf last year, thought it was overkill.

I'm down to my last 6 cans!

You might want to check local fire regulations as to how much you can store...we tend to get nervous when the fire is shooting back at us.

thanks everyone, I know I saw a post a long way back that had 4 or 5 places with a 5 lb min, dont want to keep much more than that around, but it may be the thing to do (go in on 25) Ill see if anyone else has a place, its just something how places to get powder ect are just going poof gone.

I just purchased 25 lbs of Kik powder from Powder, Inc and it was only $210 delivered, which makes it a great deal, IMO. They will also sell in 5 & 10 lb lots but the price per lb will be higher because the hazmat fee will be the same. Buying a case is definitely the cheapest way to go and you can mix powder brands and granulations.

 

[brubincam]

are you using kik in a flinter?

 

[harryo]

are you using kik in a flinter?

Yes, I use KIK blackpowder in all my rifles, including my flinter. It gives performance comparable to Swiss at price cheaper than Goex.

I also use KIK in everything. The FFg behaves the same GOEX FFFg. The only rifle that did not seem to like it as well was my Santa Fe. I switched to a .515 ball with a little thicker patch and everything is right with the world again. Everything else from .36 to .58 liked it with no change.
