The Price of Black Powder

[musketman]

Well I finally found black powder close to home for sale...
Just a half of a mile away.
They have Fg, FFg, FFFg, and FFFFg Black Powder

They want $17.00 a pound!

I can't believe it, the last time I bought black powder it was $8.00 a can... (I'm showing my age again)

I didn't get the brand, I was suffering from sticker shock.

Here's the kicker...
The local gun shop does not carry it (they only carry cleanbore and 777)...
But the fishing bait and tackle shop does...
Go figure?

If you are near the Andover, Ohio area (near PA line) and need black powder...
Call: Gateway Bait & Tackle (440) 293-7227

They only sell in 25 or 50 can lots, thats $275.00 or $550.00 per lot(s).

"Black Powder must be shipped in full cases, 25 one pound cans."

Order any mix of granulations, any mix of brands.
Minimum order is 25 pounds.
Maximum order is 50 pounds.

Thanks for the tip, but I shouldn't have 25 pounds of black powder on hand with groundhog season so close...
