Just a heads up in case anyone is looking for real black powder.

I wonder what the Hazmat fee is?

I just ordered a couple of pounds of Ol' Eynsford... let me check.

$11.99 for the 2 lbs.

Quantity limit of 2. After shipping & hazmat it comes out to $30.00 a pound... No thanks.

Horrible price.

Graf’s, Powder Inc., and others are about half that cost and sometimes run free hazmat specials.

I'm currently waiting for Graf's to restock so I can restock. Quite a run on powder a few weeks ago. You know...because black powder and toilet paper will protect the population from the virus.
Or is it black powder will protect your toilet paper from the population with a virus? I cant keep the logic straight anymore.

Need to do a bit of a fact check here. Right now no one has free hazmat. If you are interested in only buying 2 pounds Midway is cheaper then Grafs. Midway with hazmat and shipping is $33.31 per pound and Grafs is $33.92. Powder Inc you must buy 5 pounds and is $33.40 per pound. Midway's limit is 2 pounds. Granted the more you buy the price goes down but some people don't want to store a lot of powder or don't use a lot of powder or local law may limit the amount you have on hand. The prices I got were for Olde Eynsford. So fact is not a horrible price.

Agreed!
Luckily, I mitigate the impact of the standard Hazmat fee by stocking up when I order powder. And I think...(iirc) Graf & Son has flat rate shipping, so it really drops the price per pound.

OR I can order 5 lbs. of Graf's reenactor powder, which works great for blanks, AND I've tried it and it works fine for hunting, and the total cost to me per pound would be $20.48. Not going to win any State Championships with it, but since the private ranges are all closed here, I'm left to plinking, and ground hog hunting. IF I ordered 10 lbs. the price is $18.24 per pound. So...,

Grafs has it in stock and if you buy two pounds of their brand 3f, it is like $28.00 a lb. I bought 5 and with tax, shipping and Hazmat it was $111.00 or $22.20

I'd love some more thoughts on Old E before I place my order. There's been a couple of posts the last few days. I want to try 1.5 and 3F.

At least it's another option.

$11.99 for the 2 lbs. !! What, no way! Ya gotta to be foolin me.
I know you gas is cheaper than ours, even your liquor& beer,now you tell me you shootin powder is cheaper too. Even your women are good looking.
I'll bet your bum wad is free also.
Fred

That $11.99 is the Hazmat fee for the 2 pounds and not for the powder itself. The total charge is $66.62 for 2 pounds including Hazmat and sales tax or $33.31 per pound. But your right on the cheaper gas, good looking women and liquor and beer prices. Not sure what bum wad is!!

Best powder I’ve tried. Shoots cleanest of all, even cleaner than Swiss. Cleanup is a breeze and consistent, accurate stuff. It’s GOEX’s top shelf brand.

Can you tell me what grades of it you tried? I want to stuff some 1.5 down the 54 Hawkins, and try the 3f in my 50 cal. and 45 cal. long guns.
About $143 for 5 cans, any input helps me write the check.

I live about 30 miles from Track of the Wolf, which carries black powder. I am glad to hear Midway is selling it though. That is news to me.

B P Arn, living that close to TOTW could be dangerous to your finances. I know it would be that way for me.

^^^ LOL!!!! It has cost me a few dollars over the years! Nice bunch of people working there.
