Title: Looking for real blackpowder in the north end
Post by: Rob on February 24, 2017, 05:30:17 PM: Hi all. Based on feedback from my thread on flintlocks, it looks like I need real blackpowder rather than substitute.

I understand that Muzzleloader supply on river road in Puyallup has it, but I was hoping that there might be someone up north of Seattle and closer to home.

Anyone know of a shop that sells it?

Sportsman's Warehouse in Puyallup had an empty spot labeled goex, Everett might be closer to you they may carry it.
