Real Black Powder

I can't find real black powder in my area any more. Is it still made? If not what is the closest substitute?

Iam sure members will give you sources of black powder,the trouble is the minimum order is 5lbs,so you you need to get some people together to split it up.

Pyrodex RS works just fine in caplock guns.

Yes, it's still made...Where is your area???

Google Goex Black Powder and you will see a list of distributors in your area...
Give them a call and see who carries...Bass Pro also carries in some areas...

YOU CAN BUY geox  USUALLY LOCALLY for 18.25/24.95 a 1lb can.

i ordered 10 lbs fro GRAF/SONS deliverd to my home for 16.50 pd. in CANS.

those cans are going to disappear,so save all your cans, they are going to plastic.
