I've noticed a disturbing trend after I visited Cabela's in Richfield last weekend. Fewer and fewer stores are stocking genuine black powder, stocking Pyrodex and other substitutes instead. Obviously, insurance and fire department/zoning laws are putting a crimp on that. However, every now and then one finds a small gun shop out in the sticks that still stocks the holy black. Gary and Chris, I don't know if this warrants a sticky thread or not, but I'd like to see if we as THR members could create some sort of thread where folks could contribute their experience by listing the locations and stores where they managed to find stocking dealers of real black powder.
Why?
1. I'm down to my last couple pounds of Goex Cartridge since I moved to Wisconsin from Florida.
2. I can order more from Graf & Sons, but only if I pay the HazMat fee, making for a very expensive pound or two of powder.
3. I can't be the only person in these United States who'd rather not use Pyrodex or other substitutes in their black powder arms.
