Black Powder

[FishDFly]

Never understood why folks are so vocal about their dislike for fruitcakes. No one makes a person buy or eat one.

I've seen no fruit cake would stand up against my band saw and some home churned butter. Specially if F/C allowed to sit until spring when the old cove gets into the onion grass stinking up her milk /butter. Don't forgit ta knock the mouse poop offin the top of the cake. Storin cake that long might not be a good thing. My local saw bones says they is a tooth store down the road so ifin last years cake breaks off a chopper , it can be easy replaced , long as I have some wallet cabbage ta pay. Dunno 'bout that.

Yes, but you might have to BE one to BUY one.
And, you are what you eat.

Just sayin'

Bought three pounds yesterday a mile from my domicile.

Ordered some tonight. I have been getting concerned about running out lately. Thanks for posting

There is a gun shop around here that has many 1# cans of black powder caps too. Of course I'm not saying where or the name.

 

[SemperFiHunter]

I made an order Sunday.
$48 hazmat shipping sucks.
But nobody was twisting my arm. Gonna have to find a place to buy in person next time.

properly stored Black Gunpowder will last longer that a Collins Street Bakery fruit cake.
It's a Texas thing if you don't get it.
Load 'em heavy boys

Yep, some folks have to hate things for no real reason and then shout about it.

Saw 5 pounds of black powder for sale on a Texas forum for sale for $32.00 per pound, 2F and 3F.

I just paid $25.

 

[PathfinderNC]

I just bought 5 lbs of FFF for $106 plus shipping ($54)

 

[MtnMan]

Graf's got some Swiss 2F in. I don't think it will last long.

I haven't been this short on BP since the late 1990s. I've got to come up with enough scratch to get an order made.

Fruitcake. It's the perfect gift, though. Buy a fruitcake and it can be passed around every Christmas for eternity.

I never cared for it, but it does have a shelf life about measured in glacial epochs. With the recent trend of long term calorie stockpiling (not new to me) I looked at maybe acquiring a few tins or maybe learning how to make it.

One three-pound fruitcake or three one-pound cakes?

 

[Livbucks]

Three one-pound! You can freeze them for later enjoyment! (NOT). Yuck.

Well I'm waiting on my first black powder rifle threw mail."purchased from another forum member." Amd I've been trying g to find black powder and every where has been out of stock or backorder. Injust seen this thread and ordered 10 pounds of 2fg. Thanks guys

 

[Col. Batguano]

Try Powder Inc. They had it a couple of weeks ago.

Well, I admit I hate fruitcake, period. As for powder, nothing wrong with having a good supply on hand. But buying and hoarding out of fear is what drives shortages.

I think we have quite a bit to fear this time.
