Buying Powder

[Archer 756]

:cursing: Just was at gun show yesterday to buy some smokeless powder and was told that I could only buy limited amount Was informed that all powder sales are now being governed by are great FEDS. I was only allowed to buy 1lb and if larger 8lbs are limited to only one.

Someone blowing smoke. The feds allow one to own up to 50 pounds of black powder.

Some states put a limit on the amount of black powder one can have on hand. Methinks the max amount in NY state is five pounds.

He said smokeless. Forbidden topic........

We all know its a passing fad and perhaps the fad is running its course and supplies have dwindled :idunno:

:rotf:

In Calif. its 5 lbs also.

 

[Loyalist Dave]

5 lbs. of each in some counties in Maryland in a detached dwelling. In some places town homes and apartments aren't supposed to have either. One can store larger amounts in outer buildings or other locations.

NY 5 lbs for personal use. NY makes it impossible for shops to store and sell BP so you can't find it. I have to order from out of state.

And if you go to some states, they won't sell to out of state people.

:hmm: Just called Main Powder House and was told that they are OUT OF BUSINESS

 

[Eric Krewson]

Call Power Inc, good people to buy from.

A couple weeks ago their web site was down as well. It made me wonder if they were going out of business .

 

[Archer 756]

I was just about to pull the trigger on my next build (no pun intended), but I want to make sure I can get real black powder before I commit to a rock lock this time.
The dark side is pulling me in. My cap locks are not going to like this move at all. :shocked2:

 

[hawkeye2]

Don't give up on black powder yet, it's still readily available. Here is a link to Back Creek Gun Shop who supplies powder and caps to probably 95% of the N-SSA members. Good price, always in stock (I have never known him to be out of stock on anything), knows all the laws and will ship up to the maximum your state will allow you to store. The family has been selling powder since the early 60's. I have not bought powder from anyone else in 40 years. Oh, did I say great guy to deal with too.

:thumbsup: Just got cost from Powder Inc. They are in business :hatsoff:

 

[Ames]

Thank you. I saved the site for future purchasing.
Now I just have to make up my mind how to stock the Southern Mtn. gun in my next build. Cherry with iron furniture? Curly maple is starting to seem too common these days. Perhaps walnut? That would look good as well.
Argggghhhh...... This is the stuff that gets me up at 3 A.M. :cursing:

 

[pa woods roamer]

What is PowderInc cost per can ??

 

[kurts]

Just got a 25lb case shipped from powder inc for 431.00 del.

 

[rodwha]

Looked at their site and compared it to Grafs, which is where I've been buying my powders. What do they charge for HazMat and shipping (I typically buy 3 lbs at a time)?

 

[Archer 756]

:hmm: Powder Inc. includes all cost, shipping/haz in their price need to call and ask for price list and release sent by e-mail Their site will not be up till end of September
