There is an American company producing black powder

[Dartwick]

American Black Powder, Inc.

I just found out about them and they are here in Clearfield County PA. where I live, Apparently they started started a production facility in the last year.
i think its owned or related to Belding and Mull.

It’s NOT true black powder. It’s a replacement like Pyrodex.

 

[Brownie]

would like more information on them if you can

I can't specifically say what is being sold by them now but he was asked, ftg99 who says he's the CEO of Belding and Mull, on a different thread, 'PA making BP' if it was real or substitute and his reply was "real black powder". That was a post from Aug 4 '22 though so maybe things have changed. Have not seen a recent post from him saying anything different.

How did you discover this?

Is there a chance you are mistaking this product for American Pioneer black powder substitute?

Don't forget, Goex is also an American company!

Haha! yes, but we're still waiting to see the products hit the consumer shelves, aren't we?

tried to google it. Not showing up. So I clicked on powder inc, the first in line and note, nope no # 10 caps yet (anywhere).

It will take a while; it's just a miracle that the Rocket Fuel company bought it almost immediately. (Estes).

If a company like Estes with some investment capital hadn't stepped up, we would probably have been out of luck entirely.

Do you know this or are you just tossing out your personal speculation as fact?

I discovered because my brother win the Belding and Mull gun shop the other day and the owner I think had a conversation with him about it.

they have a facebook page

Interesting/suspect wording.
Real black powder is not classified as a "propellant."
A lot of the descriptions that scroll by are somewhat vague and open to interpretation. There is no concrete information on the site, and no difference between clicking on "Home" and "about."

Check with the owner, a forum member, on this thread: PA making BP

 

[appalichian hunter]

As I stated elsewhere, I have my suspicions this is not a true BP and leans more the way of the other subs, One would think the manufacture of the product would follow these sorts of forums and see the discussions on the product and set this to bed either it is true BP or a sub. As the posted pic of the ad states a PROPELLANT why would they not just say BLACK POWDER.
