    Grafs has real black in stock

    Looks like all flavors of Goex, Olde Eynesford, and Graf's private label. I would not dawdle if you are in need.

    "...and Graf's private label."

    Graf's private label BP is now made by GOEX; says so if you peel off the label on the plastic containers. (It used to be made by Wano.) I've experienced no problems with the new stuff...thought you'd want to know this.

    I recently got a case of the Graf house brand. It still had the Schutzen manufacturer label on it, so it must have changed. I found it is actually cleaner than the Schutzen, not as many fines in it. Very little barrel fouling. It shoots pretty much a one hole group from the bench at fifty yards, if I can hold it good.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Well if you lay off the pipe you can buy some powder before it is out of stock again.

    Nah, that is my dealer patter.

    Yup, scooped 12lbs and just got notification from Track of the Wolf that .530 RB is back in stock, ain't swaged Hornady stuff but the price is good and you can never have enough.....

    Edit - I see the $11.50 price tag is for 50 and ground shipping was a little steep.

    I would highly recommend casting yer own, and not buying. It's too easy, lots cheaper, and yer all the more self sufficient.

    Placed my order on the Sunday afternoon on the 4th, label made on the 7th and shipped on the 8th. Pretty good in this day and age.......

    Absolutely, just getting things set up, organized and humming and hawing over equipment as I need to keep things tidy and compact but still have decent production capability.

    Placed my order yesterday for 10 pounds of Old E. That should be enough for a couple of years. All I need now is large pistol primers.

    The primers may take a couple years to get at this rate! I just snagged some #11 caps and that was a chore and a half.

    Well you dribble a few grains in a pan. Cover the pan, hold the pipe up next to your face, pull the trigger and a little rock ignites those grains giving off a puff of smoke, which you inhale....

    I am guessing that maybe the black powder manufacturers have caught up? Graf's seem to have a good supply as well as Powder Valley.

    I have been shooting the Graf brand black powder for years. No problems in caplock, flintlock, or cartridges. It's more accurate than I am.

    Same here. It's all I ever use. I've never seen the need to buy the more expensive brands, as it does all I ask of it.
