Is it still possible to buy blackpowder in bulk at reasonable prices?
The only place I found to buy in bulk, you could buy it in 5, 10, 25, and 50 lb allotments. Although the 50lbs were two 25 lb allotments.
however, unless you bought it in 25lb allotments. The cost per pound was several dollars more per pound then simply buying that many 1lb bottles worth. Ie.... Grafs n sons has it at $19.99 per 1lb bottle. 5, and 10lb allotments were $30/pound and the 25lb allotment was only a dollar cheaper at $18 a pound.
Just as well buy it in 1lb bottles!
Now that I have several new blackpowder guns, and have even upgraded my cannon to a larger one. I am probably going to go through about 15lbs a year. Still not worth buying it in a 25lb allotment, not considering storage issues to deal with.
