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.

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!

How things change....

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

in our neck of the woods we would get at least a bucks worth when we pulled up to the pump....that was back in the day when you got 3 dollars a day for chopping cotton... this was about the time dean when you were filling that gto up..... charlie

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%!
