pequodmd Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 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 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 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 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 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.
Barry Sloe Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 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, Barry Sloe
Eyesa Horg Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Try "Maine Powder House " for powder. A recent email indicated they have Shutzen and Swiss
Tyrel Cody Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 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.
Jack Spade Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 I get fellow shooters together and order 50# at a time from Traveller's Antiques.
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Where are you located? Maybe someone can direct you to a local source.
Warden Callaway Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 If all else fails, make your own. Walmart garden department has the stuff you need.
Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 I get mine from Jon Blackert in Mineral, IL. www.addictedtoblackpowder.com He can be reached at jonblackert@frontiernet.net Chancy
The Shoer 27979 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 I really did start making my own. It is not hard or dangerous if you do it rught.
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 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 Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 If he wants 1lb of BP I’ll sell it to him $100 + shipping, caps are slightly higher
Doc McCoy, SASS #8381 Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 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.
