Black powder

[John from MD]

ALERT Bass Pro no longer carries Black Powder. Evidently their distributor went out of business and they decided not to look for another. Per a supervisor today.

Gun Shack in Mt Airy sells real Black Powder.

If you are looking for powder, try the Back Creek Gun Shop in Winchester, VA. They're the main supplier for the North-South Skirmish Association, they deal with it by the ton...literally.

True but you have to make a reservation. The website gives you list of what they carry, prices and phone to set up reservation.

Mike, you have a serious black powder gun in that avatar of yours! Are you a member of the battery?

 

[Mike OTDP]

Not that one, but it made a nice photo. I've crewed on an artillery piece a couple of times. I'm a member of the N-SSA, NMLRA, and the U.S. International Muzzle-Loading Team.

Camerons only sells 2f and 3f and it's best to call them before going as they don't keep large quantities in stock.

This is where I go, plus i can eyeball the collection on the walls that he won't sell.

This is where I have also purchased primers when I run out and wanting to buy local

Don't forget Fort Chambers by the old Gander Mountain in Chambersburg PA. Truly a spot worth visiting.

 

[John from MD]

Fort Chambers owners are pretty nice people. I spend a day in there shooting the breeze whenever I go there.
