Dixon's is a great place to deal with, anyway always have been - the Gun makers fair was a must for me for many years

these folks also have had a good reputation in the reenactor circles ( and they urn powder - I used to go through 10 pounds a year back when I did it)
Thanks Rick, yes my friend and I both knew that. Actually I've had a "connection" to Goex since 1972 when G-O bought DuPont's former Belin BP works nearby me in Moosic, abandoned the old wheelmills and moved other machinery to its then new operation in Minden LA.

Belin had been in operation since 1912 and that ended a 60 year operating span, and now Goex is out of the BP biz after ~50 years. As I understand it, there are now no operational BP mills in the US and only a few remaining in the world.
