where to buy black powder
« on: March 30, 2008, 07:17:54 AM »
I  have a pedersoli 1874 sharps that I want to load with bp, but am unable to find any dealer that sells it here. I live in south central Illinois. Anyone know where I can buy black powder in this area?  ???  Thanks

where are you located at in IL you can order it online but how much are you wanting to get cause it only comes in 5 pound lots. i found a dealer but is in MO. If you are close to me maybe we could split the cost of the 5 lb lot it comes to about a $100 total let me know if interested.

Powders Inc. is where I get mine.  You have to order a minimum of 5 pounds, but since you may spend so much time working up a load for a given lot number you may as well have a good supply of the same.

I live about 30 miles south west of St. Louis on I-44.  The only place I've found that carries real black powder is the Bass Pro shop in Springfield, MO.  I have a friend who lives down there so when I visit I pick up a can or two.

I live 12 miles north of Salem Il.
My brother knows a guy that sells it he lives in Marshall Il.

  Track of the Wolf will ship it right to your door. You must buy at least 25 pounds @ $13+  per pound for GOEX, but this price includes shipping and the Haz-Mat fee. You may order up to 50 pounds and can mix cartridge grade with muzzleloading grades. If you can get a group together to split the cost, this is a pretty inexpensive route to take.

 :D  Cost is $18.80 per pound for 5# of GOEX, Haz Mat Fee, shipping and handling included.  If ordering 25# or more it's $11.85 per pound.   They also carry KIK, Skirmish, and SWISS.  ;D

Just an update since this thread showed back up..... Graf's Reloading (which you cannot find via the Graf & Sons website, must be some sort of family feud) in St. Charles, MO (just up 5th street from Bass Pro) carries real black.  They sell it for $14 per pound.  They have a whole mess of reloading supplies and some pretty reasonable prices on used guns as well.
