Cant find Goex locally....

Personally, I believe if the barrels are safe enough to shoot BP then they're safe enough to shoot low pressure nitro loads. The barrels don't know what type of powder you're using, only the pressures. But maybe John just likes shooting smoke, which is fine.

agreed - that's what i meant - but you phrased it much better

Thanks guys, and yes, the smoke and fire are a big part of the pleasure I find in shooting black powder. In fact, my Grandson and I have nicknamed my Neumann Brothers and my American Gun Company doubles "Thunder and Lightning!"

Active group of single shot rifle shooters that use BP in Mass. Will ask but I bet they buy from Maine Powder House.

My Parker lifter use bulk re-enactor grade 2 F from Winchester VA cost less than pound cans of Goex (he sells Goex too) and does fine . It's not labeled but most say it's Goex re-packaged from kegs. 200 mile drive for me I stock up every couple of years.

If you have any re-enactors or members of NSSA nearby they will have a source for sure
