Anybody Heard...

[Dave T]

Has anyone here heard any news about the new owner of GOEX? I am curious if any progress has been made in getting the the manufacture of black powder started up again.

I think it’s coming back as Grafs had some.

 

[troy fairweather]

I've not heard anything,didn't they say it would be a year or more.

 

[Appalachiannative]

Well hell you fellas got me tickled to death I didn't know goex was coming back!

 

[hawg]

It may not be labeled as Goex since that was a Hodgdon brand. Even if they bought the name it may not be the same recipe. It will probably be the middle of next year before any hits the shelves.

 

[Eyrie G. Dogg]

A little than a year then. Damn and expletive. But a thing to look forward to.

Swiss is worth it. If I can't get Swiss I use Pyrodex. It shoots about the same. If you don't want Swiss you can always get Sheutzen.

Really? Only powder I've ever had my hands on is pyrodex and goex. I've seen swiss for sale and didn't wanna pay that much but I reckon it wouldn't hurt to try with all this overtime Im getting

Grafs powder is a buck cheaper than Schuetzen, and actually is rebranded Schuetzen. It has been in stock for quite some time now. Can't use Pyrodex very well in a flintlock.

Grafs is an importer. Like you said it's just rebranded Sheutzen.

I think I read that the "new" house brand Graf's is actually Wano.

I read that Estes will start production of "Goex" and "old Enysford" using the same formulas as soon as they get all the required permits, and upgrade some of the equipment. It might have a new name, and you can bet it will be more expensive.

That's the sort of thing I was asking about in the OP. Thanks Fyrstyk.

Even if price goes up I bet it will be cheaper than swiss. If I get a chance to try swiss buying it in person I will. However, hazmat plus their price per can is just painful for me

Swiss is about the same as buying smokeless.

But I only put 19 grains of super handicap in my smokeless shotshells and use as much as 80 to 100 grains loading a shot in my deerhunter

Be that as it may you owe it to yourself to try some. My only income is a disability check but I buy Swiss when I can.

Oh I will one of these days. I can't stand to pinch the pennys too awful hard. It expensive but it's stayed in business all these years so you can't be the only guy who considers it worth it

I think Olde Eynesford was the best deal on the market. Almost the equal of Swill at a fraction of the price. I was burning a bunch of it this afternoon and I will be sorry when it is gone. Hopefully Estes has the plant up and running by then. I particularly like the 1.5 and 2F in my 54s and 58s.

OE is a remarkable formula. Very consistent velocity and burns clean. I’m also running low on my last pound. I’ll miss it when it’s used up.
