    They have a website. I'm not sure when the last time it was updated but they have, Goex listed at $19.50 per pound in cans and $415 per 25 pounds in bulk. You might want to call them and confirm, if these prices are correct.

    Last time I bought mail order I found Powder Inc. to be slightly cheaper overall when I bought 10 pounds of Goex by the pound.

    Here is the web site for Back Creek Gun Shop:

    But be sure to investigate buying in 25-pound bulk and of course if you can pick up at the Nationals you save tremendously.

    Two months ago I went to Winchester to get powder from Jack. I bought two five pound bags and it was $19.00 per pound for GOEX 3F.

    Joe,

    If you have the time and don't mind making it yourself, Skylighter sells a blackpowder kit that makes 10-lbs for $51.99 or you can buy the ingredients separately and basically the price would be about $6.85 per pound and you can choose the kernel size.

    stopped at Jackies on the way home from the Gator and he paid $91 for a 5 pound bag of powder and $70 for a sleeve of German caps. Someone is making $$$.

    It's not Jackie as there is very little margin in either by the time it gets to him.
