Blackpowder

[pequodmd]

Anyone know where I can get real blackpowder, not that other stuff like pyrodex, but more like along the lines of goex or elephant blackpowder, without having to buy 5lbs of it? And also No 11 and No 10 caps

[watab kid]

no - i picked up some 3f from scarlet at the ND/SD state shoot last weekend but its not real black IIRC , never thought to asp about caps [i need some of those as well] , ill watch this thread to hear what you get in responses , 

[Sedalia Dave]

Unless you find the rare shop that carries it, your best bet is to get a couple of other shooters to go in on an order.

Caps are rare. Natchez Shooters Supplies had Remington #11s in stock for a while, out now.  Before that, Brownells or someone had CCIs, again now out of stock. 

Do a search for "in stock percussion caps" and see what pops up.

Be wary of scams. They are out there. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If the site won't take credit cards, stay away. 

I shoot APP, black powder sub, so I can't help there.

 

Good luck,

Try "Maine Powder House " for powder. A recent email indicated they have Shutzen and Swiss

You can get a 1lb at Grafs but that's not very cost effective. Haven't seen any caps in a while now.

 

Looks like you've just joined here. Don't know if you're new to cowboy action shooting or not. If new go to a match or two and see if local folks can help you find what you need. It's also a lot easier to start out this game with cartridge guns.

I get fellow shooters together and order 50# at a time from Traveller's Antiques.

Where are you located? Maybe someone can direct you to a local source.

[Cypress Sun]

Seriously?

 

Like the SASS#.

If all else fails, make your own. Walmart garden department has the stuff you need.

I get mine from Jon Blackert in Mineral, IL.  www.addictedtoblackpowder.com   He can be reached at jonblackert@frontiernet.net

I really  did start making my own. It is not hard or dangerous if you do it rught.

Wasn't the Pequod the name of Ahab's ship in "Moby Dick??"  That and that very faque SASS # gives me great pause.  

[Tequila Shooter]

If he wants 1lb of BP I’ll sell it to him $100 + shipping, caps are slightly higher 

[Lead Monger]

Grafs has Swiss and Shootzen in stock.

I get mine from Powder Inc. in Ark.  They do have a 5# minimum, but the more you buy the lower the per pound price.  So get some friends to share it.  I buy at least 25# with several pards sharing.  But then too, I use 10# per year.

No help with caps, that’s a luck market.  You need luck to find them in any market.
