    Default Where do you guys buy blackpowder?

    Since Sannadex and Buschalk are no longer being made, what do you guys use to keep your guns smoking? I still have a small amount of Buschalk left, but what do I get in future? I understand that AEL sells Wano and Swiss, but apparently the price has gone up to R1250/kg and R2580/kg respectively!!! What now?

    You will have to buy at AEL, otherwise you will pay through your nostrils.

    How about making it yourself? Been done 2500 years ago in China. Easy to do. Problem is to transport it.

    I generally get with a couple of buddies and we order 50-60lbs from the Maine Powder House. Delivered to my door.

    May be some additional shipping to y'all.
