Today I went to the local place that has black powder for sale. They had SCHUETZEN.
I bought a pound of FFg and a pound of FFFFg. $39.95 plus tax per pound. What are
you all seeing near your homes?

No shops local that carry BP, closest one was 90 miles away and about $10 more per pound than ordering and paying hazmat. Over the past 25 years, always had to order it. Back last fall, I partnered up with a friend and bought the 25 lb special from Toby @ Travelers Antiques and Trading, Clyde, TX. I bought the Travelers repackaged Schuetzen 2F and 3F, in the white bottle. Price for the 25 lb package was $495 which included hazmat and shipping ($19.80 per pound) delivered. I just checked and Travelers is not advertising any specials, but here is their current prices. They are out of stock on the Swiss.

Last I bought locally was $26.00 a pound if I remember right. All he had was 6lbs of Fg in metal cans. I bought all 6.
 
I've been getting mine over the counter at Kentucky Gun Company in Bardstown, Ky. Schuetzen is $22.99 lb while Swiss is much higher at $31.99 lb. Both are usually in stock when I check online before driving an hour from home to get there. Not seen any 4F lately though for sale but they usually have 2F & 3F in stock.

What’s up with the repackaged Schuetzen?
 
What’s up with the repackaged Schuetzen?
They buy bulk from Schuetzen and repackage into 1 lb. pound containers marked as Travelers Schuetzen. Other suppliers buy bulk and repackage as well. Jack's Powder Keg used to repackage Goex, and Graf and Son repackages Schuetzen.
