I'm reading these posts where some states limit the amount of powder one can order or possess at one time. I have always bought mine either at matches or with a group of guys in our club where we would pay one member and he would order the powder and have it shipped to him. From what I understood then, it was legal under US law to ship up to 50 pounds of black powder to the same address in one day. I understand individual states can make the laws more restrictive in their states. Does anyone know if it's still legal as far as the feds are concerned to ship up to 50 pounds of black powder to the same address in a single day? Back then the hazmat fee for UPS was $6, for one pound or 50. Orders were placed so frequently and I would get anywhere from 5 to 7 pounds each time so I was able to accumulate some. I think the last time I ordered it may have been $14 or $15 per pound of GOEX.
 
So why not order 4lbs of real black powder (their minimum order) from Graf and Sons? I just did. Even with the cardboard box they normally ship in, it’s still under 5lbs.

Then, in a few months, order again. I’m not trying to be a smart aleck, honestly trying to help.
I appreciate the help/idea. The difficulty is that I also reload for my unmentionables. That powder and primers count to the 5lb limit for storage. I have been able to occasionally pick up a pound of holy black at a show which I keep expressly for my rock locks. My cap locks are relegated to pyrodex which I can pickup at the local gun store.
