Goex?

Who sells it in the Puget Sound area?  All I can find is 777 and Pyrojunk.  I like the 777, but want a stash of the real thing too.

Sunbirds in Chehalis used to sell it. I have not bought any there since I moved to Idaho, but they were about the only place I could find real black powder.

Thanks... I'll see if they still do.  I was in contact with Kesselring's in Burlington, but all they have is cartridge BP.

Nope... struck out there too.

Did you try one of the GOEX distributors, the GOEX site says you can buy direct from a distributor.

Here's the link:  http://www.goexpowder.com/distributors.html

I bought the last I got in 1975.  I belonged to the Yakima club at that time.  We ordered quite a bit. I believe I bought 35-50 pounds of ff, fff, and 1 can of ffff. I am still using on it. I believed it cost us either $1.50 or $2.00 a pound.  The powder was delivered to a armoury in the WallaWalla area. One of the club members was a Pepsi truck driver.  When he was in Walla Walla he picked it up in the Pepsi truck.  As I remember he hauled 1,500 pounds in mostly 1 pound cans.  There may have been a few 50 pound containers.  I think that would cause a ruckus now days.

I've seen the distributors link... I'm hoping to avoid the shipping hassle if I can (first).  Thanks.

I haven't found real powder locally.  I've purchased it online from Powder Inc, they ship it to you.  But you have to pay hazmat surcharge.  White Elephant in Spokane was selling Goex a year or two ago.

Been a few years since I darkened the doors at White Elephant... just haven't made it over that way in a while.  Always enjoy visitin' it though.

I seen some at Lynnwood Gun a while back.

Really?  I'll have to check on it... thank you for the heads up.

I emailed a friend who works at the White Elephant.  He said they still sell black powder.  Many restrictions, like only 5 pounds at a time in store. Permits etc keep price up, about $21.00 pound.

Thanks.  I'll definately stop in to see them the next time I'm in Spokane... no wonder places aren't carrying it (at those prices).
