Default black powder price

Does anyone know of a cheaper price than Grafs $13.99/lb ? Craig, how much is it at Friendship now ? Years ago it was always cheaper - I can remember around $4/lb.

Paul, I haven't been out in a few years, but have been told the price has come up.

Last powder I bought was left-over GOEX cartridge powder @ $8.00 a can. Bought a case for the shotguns.

Also bought Swiss for my double rifles and it was about the same price then as everywhere else.

I talked to Anson Morgon yesterday - he said the MNLRA is a distributer - so they charge the same price as any distributer. Guess I'll shot up some ' Clean Shot " I got for $2/lb - it smokes but doesn't have that smell.

Default Black powder price

Nostalgia note: yesterday I gave my brother a sealed, one-pound bright red can of Curtis's and Harvey's FF Gunpowder which I bought many years ago for $1.25!

I remember filling my GTO for less than we pay for a gallon of the "cheap stuff" today.

Didn't you folks work on the same minimum wage the rest of the country used? As I recall it was like $0.75/hr then.

Dean,
Those persons who refused to type capitol letters to start sentences (when attempting to communicate with others) got their pay docked by 50%!
