Actually Gladstone VA.Are you in Bend or Bent creek?
Bet he buys it at Back Creek gun shop at Fort Shenandoah, home of the N-SSA.Welcome, my brother lives in the NC mountains and buys his powder and supplies in Virginia. Thinking that it might be in Winchester, VA. I started using Hornady PA Conicals for deer, seems to do better at longer distances. GOOD LUCK
That is good to hear. When you see Frank tell him I said hi. I haven't seen him since I attended VSP academy with him in 1970. He graduated first in the class, me second. I've often thought about him. Mike Gibbs.I know Frank retired state trooper he is one of my neighbors. Great guy!
Thank you!Hello from Buckingham Va. I’m couple of hours south of you. I use 70gr. of black powder and .490 patched ball with great results hunting and target shooting. You can order round balls from Track of The Wolf. Clark Brothers sporting goods is not far from you they have sold black powder in the past can’t say if they do now but give them a call it would be worth a try. Welcome and good luck!
Welcome.. what part of VA are you form..I live in RVA and can point you in the direction for a local supplier
Thanks!Typically round balls shoot best. 3F black powder and percussion(#11) caps(try to purchase locally); adjustable powder measure; some sort of flask to carry powder; 'possibles' bag to carry all the 'stuff'; patches or patch material. Thicknesses vary and finding the right combination is the 'challenge'. Track of The Wolf (dot com) is probably the best source. Check U-Tube for informative, how to videos.
MAKE SMOKE
Thank you. Much appreciated.If you ever get up to Chambersburg, PA along I-81, Fort Chambers gun shop is black powder only and will give you good information and typically have everything you'd need in stock.
I live in NoVa, Fairfax County. (I know, it’s not REAL Virginia. I consider it Occupied Territory and I’m behind enemy lines). I’m familiar with Clark Bros in Warrenton and Green Top. Can’t wait to get back to both to see what they got! I’ll take any advice you can spare.Welcome.. what part of VA are you form..I live in RVA and can point you in the direction for a local supplier
Thanks, Chief. I’m retired Navy (26 years).Welcome from the coast of North Carolina!
Thank you. I hunt down in Page County and pass through Winchester now and again. Looks like I’ll be coming out to look for powder & supplies!Welcome from Winchester, VA!
