Wallaby Damned Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It would be cool if DuPont made a batch at their original mill in Delaware. Hell, I’d pay extra for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Latest word about DuPont …. Re: Goex closing down Unread post by bpcr shooter » Fri Nov 12, 2021 6:26 pm Being an employee of Dupont, I asked my plant manager if there was any talk about getting back into the BP game. He said he would ask the higher up's. Today I got my answer, it was as follows......NO, at this point Dupont has no interest in going back to making BP, and have sold the machines off to other interested company's, and will not buy/make tham again. Its in our best interest to stay in the chemical, industrial, N&B areas of manufacturing . I thank you for your interest. So Im taking that a a NO, they are not going to start making powder again. Now this may change at a moments notice if a crisis arises, but short of a world war that they will not. Its a shame that the end of our sport may come down to insurance company's and/or poor wages Report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I’m thinking BP has become a niche market better suited to smaller operators. Not worth the effort for a company like DuPont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancho Roy Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 once battleships and other big guns were retired, the only ones buying BP are cowboy shooters and reenactors. no way near enough demand. the navy used to buy hundreds of tons a year.....no longer needed.
