where to buy black powder in the north east

[Boston Bill]

Hi Everyone!
I live in Massachusetts. I know, I am sorry to! Anyone can tell me whole sells the real thing in MA, RI, NH, VT or Maine?
I know about Maine Powder house I was just hoping there might be somewhere else also.
Not really up for the 5 lb minimum. That would be a lifetime of powder for me at this point, tho that just might be the way to go.
Freaking Grafs won't sell to MA tho I can get powder and such for the unmentionables from all kinds of places.
Thanks All. BB

Kittery Trading Post in Maine (just over the border from Portsmouth NH) usually has real BP in stock. You will pay alittle more than when you buy it mail order, but for a pound or so it is a good deal.

Excellent. Thank you. That is a fun place to wander around in. And I can buy anything there except firearms.

I'm very interested in this topic, as far as I know KTP dosen't ship, especially bp to us in MA. Were you planning on simply driving there ? Is there a particular permit necessary to buy bp from Kittery as a MA resident ?

It is not to bad of a right and it is a nice area to visit. I don't see it listed online. Can you send me a link? Thanks BB.

I was there a few years ago, 3 or 4 years. I bought a bunch of reloading stuff. The only thing they would not let me touch or buy was firearms.
And you are correct, they will not ship a black powder firearm. For the Traditions Trapper: ATTENTION: You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase this item. The online sale of this item is prohibited to the following: HI, IL, MA, MI, D.C., NY, RI, NJ, and Canada.
Amazing that CA is not on that list.

Went through Pittsfield, MA once by accident....you know...coming from VT, you'd think there'd be a sign like "Now Entering MA" but nope! I am sorry for you too!

Hope you get your powder. Next time I pass though Winchester,VA, I'll pick some up from that store there myself.

Trader John's in Winchester, NH. sells Goex by the pound over the counter. Nice drive, cool shop.

Just type in Kittery Trading Post to bring you to their web site. I forgot how ridiculous the gun laws are in MA. You will have to go to Kittery to purchase your BP. You can buy BP guns there at the store cause no FFL is required.

Contact Sheldon Royal at Hunter's Rendezvous in Pepperell, MA. His shop on Rt. 119 is worth a visit (lots of ML guns and accessories). I'm quite sure he sells black powder. Another possibility: Ray Paskerta at the Sporting and Hunting Depot, Charlestown, NH (603-826-3535); call ahead to be sure he has black powder. This is another good shop and a good fellow to deal with.

I'm in MA and have purchased BP from Kittery in person without even showing my MA credentials. I have also walked smokeless long arms out the door and BP rifles and pistols as well. I have also had firearms shipped to a LGS by them on occasion. Unlike MA where I have to show a LTC or similar credential to buy even lead round balls.

Thank you one and all! If nothing else I have some new gunshops to check out

Boston Bill: Buy 5 pounds. Set aside what you think you'll need and the next time you see a muzzleloader at the range, mention that you've got some extra powder at a fair price. You won't have it long.
