thers a place up in maine that sells it in case form, calle d maine powder house , or you can order it from poder inc. who ship in 5 pound lots, but as far as in the new york area I havent the faintest clue with the area cities weird regulations,as far as using modern subs yesterday on the flint or percussion sites some one has beeen doing a bit of reserch and shooting subs with a substitue that has been real entertaining , interesting. bb75
Try this site http://www.mainepowderhouse.com/index.jsp--my suggestion is to find someone to split a case and settle the problem for a couple of years. :m2c:
This is where I buy my Goex powder, delivered to my door.
Can order in 5Lb., 10Lb., 25Lb., or 50Lb.

In order to get black powder you may have to order it from one of the shooting suppliers. Graf and Sons of Mexico, MO will ship black powder in lots as small as 5 lbs. You do have to pay the hazardous material fees.
Grafs and Sons
I have been buying my powder locally from the Graf and Sons store in St. Charles, MO.
I hope you can find black powder closer, but there are some other alternatives.

I should have added what it resently costed me for powder inc. charged for everything plus shipping it was 88.95 for 5 pounds of goex, I don't think that was too bad, they have other powders as well check out the web site, 10 pounds of powder was resonable as well ,I just did not need that much at the present. bb75
Graf&Sons is my supplier. The more you order the cheaper
it gets IMO. Try www.grafs.com. Nice people to deal with.
1# to 50# but the Hazmat fee is still $20.
Check them out

I am expecting 25 lbs of KIK to be delivered today. I got it at Powder Inc.. You can get 5, 10, 25 or 50 lbs lots. The total including shipping and hazmat fee came to $254. GOEX would have been only a few dollars more.
The only problem with ordering it is that you have to be there to sign for it. From the price it is well worth the inconvenience.

The instructions say you have to sign for it and I was going by that. When UPS delivered it yesterday, the driver said I didn't have to sign. He would have just left it on the porch. Could have saved myself some hassle if I had known that.
And I agree it's surprising that they can just leave stuff like that on a porch without someone signing for it...I think it's great and the way it should be, but still, it's surprising to me.
In the same vein...we have all this worry and talk about "how to properly store and handle black powder", do we need "powder magazines", etc, etc...yet 25 cans of it get shipped all over the country every day in a simple cardboard box...go figure...so that's what I store it in...back of a storage closet in the same carton it arrived in
:front:
You and me both. Except I put it up on a closet shelf (I figure the air is drier up there).
