Doc, Gunny is right, Jacks is repackaged GOEX and says so on the can as well. I posted somewhere else about results I had with it while comparing it to Schuetzen and I proved to myself that it was nothing more than reenactment powder. Now, let me see if I can find a can and will send a pic!
LOL, Griz, I don’t think with BP you can just watch it burn out and vent off, it is an explosive, not a propellant! It will just go BOOM, no questions asked!
I watched a demo a few years back. The guy took a 4 pound sack of black powder and stuck a fuse in it - a LONG fuse.
Containment is important for less explosive explosives. Think of the air bag inflators that were killing people. The enclosed bottle allowed the energy to quickly build up and detonate due to the explosive powder from the broken down propellant. The propellants in a good inflator blow holes in an aluminum piece of tape and quickly outgas into the airbag.
The Jacks that I had was labeled 3f in a black plastic bottle shaped like the new Goex. But as I said I don’t think it was sifted as well or the same.
Glad you brought that up. I got a recall on my 2003 pickup on the airbags and have not taken it in yet.
I ordered the 25# special - got mixed 2f and 3f.
Of the different recalls, I would get this one done. There have been a lot of deaths.
He is probably out of the Goex and most of the Swiss, but the Travelers Schuetzen 2F and 3F shows it as still in stock, even with the scare he said he would not run out of the Travelers Schuetzen . On the powder page, scroll down to selection, and toward the bottom, click on either 2F or 3F Travelers Schuetzen and it will show it has 20 of each in stock, which is the maxium his counter shows. Give Toby a call if you have any questions. When I called last week and asked how late he stayed open, he said he receives calls 24/7, and if you don't get him he will return your call. The Travelers Schuetzen is Schuetzen powder they buy bulk and package in the 1 lb. white containers. If you order online, you will receive an invoice after you have provided a copy of your DL with a link to the pay site. I ordered a week from yesterday and received my shipment this past Thursday.
Do you live in the Charleston SC area ? I live in. North. Charleston, what hardware store sells bp ?
Jack's BP is/was made by Goex but is not coated with graphite. I tried it and it didn't give consistent results, so I traded for Goex with a friend. I guess all that is just academic now until we know for sure if Goex is coming back or not.
now that is a pretty sight! it belongs on a calendar!!!
