Title: Goex?
Post by: Ratdog68 on April 29, 2010, 10:06:28 AM: 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.

Nope... struck out there too. :bash:

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

Post by: Hangfire on April 29, 2010, 12:50:01 PM: 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.

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

Post by: Hangfire on April 29, 2010, 11:10:43 PM: 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).
