GOEX POWDER, ANY NEWS YET?

[Frontier's]

wasn't that the forerunner to goex?

Yes

 

[AZshot]

I'd like to buy some. Building and sustaining a business is hard today. I remember that old WWII ammo plant was bought a couple years ago and was going to be a new primers company. But nothing has been heard from them since.

 

[sturmkatze]

Hilarious. They have their mail business, which is the govt contracts and then hobbyists, which is a small part. In the real world, you have to satisfy your main business first. Duh.

 

[DixieTexian]

Also, the government basically funded them to restart the plant so that they could have a domestic supplier for BP. Of course they are obligated to fulfil their orders first.

All my ML have been sighted in with Goex, and I have plenty left. For decades I've ordered a case every time I drop under 25 pounds on hand so I do not exceed the 50# legal limit. I also buy caps to match the powder supply. I don't consider myself a hoarder and use money once wasted on beer and cigarettes to make these purchases.

I will try a few pounds of the new Goex before considering switching brands. Too old with too many ML to work up new loads for everything I shoot, unless I become desperate.

I just bought a bottle of Goex 4f powder for $39.99 at local gun shop. I'm not sure it is a new powder or new old stock but all the bottles are new black shiny plastic ones with red labels. I'll look to see if there's a manufacturing date on it when I get home.

I'd really like to know what information you find on your red labels. Thanks!

This was posted recently by Maine Powder House. If it’s accurate, it could be awhile yet.

 

[AZshot]

And like many businesses, they don't give the public any news updates if it's bad or delayed. Only if it's good.

 

[Rob M.]

Just thought I'd ask if anyone has heard anything about possible production at GOEX anytime soon.

Buy black powder from these folks .

Bear River has a shipment of red can Goex,so other dealers should be getting some as well.

 

[Eric Krewson]

I have 23# of Goex in 1-2-3-4F from back when it was still in production, I have never shot anything else. All of my flintlock rifles will shoot a cloverleaf at 50 yards (the limit of my 75-year-old eyes), it did take a while to find out what some rifles liked but that is part of the process.

I don't get the slamming Estis for putting a sound business model in place, but then again, I never thought anybody owed me a single thing in life either. I don't get the "inferior product" stuff either, it always worked very well for me for the last 50 years, as my full freezer can attest to.

Exactly what I saw. I was hoping they would be a little more competitive with the German import.

 

[smo]

I was told that Old E would come later, it’s ran on a separate mill ..
