    Count yourselves lucky.... NY reclassed ye holy black as an explosive a couple years ago.

    Almost no one carries it anymore, and while it's legal to own and transport, take a look at the rules we got forced down our throats...

    Ted his site has that deal where they tested the KIK. With the highcost of shipping I don't think you'll get any powder cheap like we do down here unless you know a snowbird that's down this way and headed back when iceout comes.
    Long range rules, the rest drool.

    Bp

    Big Ted, If you still want to shoot Goex Cartridge which is gone as you know. There is a shop in Winchester, VA. by the name of Back Creek Gun Shop.
    They sell and ship BP and Have a supply of Goex Cartridge left.
    I have some that I found but several members have had such good luck with the new lot of KIK #3910 that it may out shoot the cartridge.
    I shot some in my SASS match on Saturday in my 44-40 that was loaded with 40 grains of KIK 2F that was compressed .31 with a .030 wad and my Accurate 43-210B bullet.
    It is as Don Mcdowell has posted. It's very clean shooting and accurate and I will find out today about the cleaning. I was able to run a bronze brush down the barrels of my TTN and nothing but a dry grey dust exited the bore.
    It's a shame that a US state is under penalty because of it's location. That should have been a priority with Canada at the time of Statehood so that we could access the state without penalty.
    It's a joke about the Hazmat fee to start with and like all taxes that make millions for the shippers by imposing a hardship on the citizens of the state and country.The facts were so distorted when this fee was put into law it is laughable.
    A fact that may not be known is that these very shippers violate the law every day by transporting more BP than is allowed by Federal law so they must not consider it as dangerous as they say. I'm sure they care about the safety of all the people that are within feet of this highly dangerous product.
    The more falsehoods that are stated by persons who have never been within 100 yards of any BP gun or a pound of the powder will continue to lessen the supply and increase the price till only the rich may enjoy the sport.
    I will quit shooting when all I'm able to purchase are the "FAKES" which I refuse to shoot.
    Shooter of the "HOLY BLACK" SASS 81802 AKA FAIRSHAKE; NRA ; BOLD; WARTHOG;Deadwood Marshal;Bayou Bounty Hunter; So That his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat; 44 WCF filled to the top, 210 gr. bullet

    Well Ted looks like you're stuck with ordering from Powder Inc and paying the shipping from Seattle... Wish I knew when my wife's classmates were heading back for the summer (they live on the Kenai) I'ld talk them into taking some that far.
