Well , l can't debate the issue as l have never tried any substitute powders .About all l can say is, l love real black powder !

You can watch how to make the real stuff on Utube

Amazon sells the ingredients very reasonable in price

Never run out of you do it yourself

Swiss and Schuetzen are still available and I see them going anywhere in the near future.
Not too long ago, I bought a pound of Pyrodex Select to try in my percussion rifles. That stuff actually shot very well and burned fairly clean. I'd use it if that's all I could get.

No death chant, There are more folks involved in black powder shooting now than a hundred years ago. I am confident the market will steer itself with a new source, but I intend to start making my own this winter.

There is no debate, it's like do you prefer a truck that runs or one you have to push.

Black powder isn't going away regardless of what chicken little says. Schuetzen makes a great powder. Past that, Schuetzen supports youth shooting sports with their products whereas I couldn't get Goex to respond to either phone or email. Since I'm very passionate about teaching and bringing others into our sport, Goex can pound sand.


And yeah, I mean what I say. In our lecture portion of the instruction, lookee at the visual aid.


Yeah, that's a roundball gun, but it ain't shooting Pyrodex, a Goex product, who incidentally doesn't support youth shooting sports. Pound sand Goex. It's Schuetzen for us.

Maybe in three or four years cargo vessels will get unloaded and we may see powder again.

I am amazed at the numbers of threads on GOEX stopping making powder, all saying pretty much the same thing over and over. We really seem good a beating a dead horse. Think I'll take a break
