About 2 years ago I was ready to give black powder a try. Went to a Bass Pro where I have seen Goex powder. I didn't see any, so I asked. The answer? "We can't get it because the factory burned down".Originally Posted by brewer12345

I heard the same thing about the factory burning down...I think I read a news article about it too....oh well...I managed to snag 20 lbs of the stuff before it dried up and I like it
If you are looking for Black MZ a few of the sportsmans warehouse stores around the country have it still listed as in stock. Good luck

I guess I better pick up another pound or two.
I'll be picking up another #4
Failure is not an Option
Assume you are finding it at a Sportsmans that still has stock?
When you care enough to send the very best, send an ounce of lead.
I just checked the two Sportsman's Wharehouses closest to me and both were cleaned out of black MZ.
you need to look and see what stores in the USA still have it and then order it from them if they will ship to you or your store. Places like Sportsman's Warehouse | Moses Lake, WA, Sportsman's Warehouse | Wenatchee, WA. .Sportsman's Warehouse | Reno, NV , Sportsman's Warehouse | Rock Springs, WY are just a few that say they have black MZ in stock, you are going to have think if you still want some. Strange thing is my store says I can still order it.

Suddenly shows up as available for order on their website, either to me or the local store. Wild.

I just tried to order 6 pounds and they said I could only get one pound due to lack of supply. $29.99 to my door. I declined.
I just picked up my 10 lbs in Phoenix...I asked if they had any more but they had none left on the shelf
Just picked up another 4 lb.

can it be used in a flintlock as a main charge with out 10 grains of 3fg black ahead if it to get it to fire? I guess that you will have to prime with black? just curious?thanks.
I called sportsmans...the website only allows 1 can to be ordered due to only having 2 cans in stock in their warehouse. Farewell blackmz...you will be missed. Anyone want to say some kind words?
Alliant still shows it on there web site, no mention of being discontinued. Has any one read of any factory statement as to availability? Or are we doing the rumor thing?

It has pretty much disappeared from the marketplace. If you see it for sale somewhere, please let us know.

I called alliant and spoke to a rep. Said they discontinued it and have no plans on creating a replacement. I too thought it was rumor...so i called. A part of me hoped it was all rumor too.
The no plans for a replacement is a bummer.

After all said and done I managed to get 20 lbs....but I am constantly scouring the web for bargains and as soon as I find them I shall post for all....Try this one for wads..
