Cheap BP Supplies in the Bay Area?
Hi folks, I live in Santa Cruz and recently got a pietta 1851 revolver. Now I just need to figure out what to feed it. Our local Watsonville shop, Markleys has Pyrodex P for $30 / lb. That's a little bit steep... online it sells for $17 /lb. Does anybody have any advice on where to find a good deal on Powders, Balls, Wadding, a Nipple Wrench, and a capper in the bay area?

A bit of a drive, but Tabor's in San Bruno usually has some BP stuff in stock. You can also check out Cabela's and Midway online. Hazmat shipping fees will balance out if you make a bigger purchase online.

Yeah, just don't purchase more than five pounds!

There used to be a shop in Castro Valley that stocked Black Powder, caps, flints, cleaning supplies etc.
It was called Castro Valley Gun Store - and was bought by an outfit called Bullseye. I don't know what's become of the shop since, but it's worth a shot. Also, Old West Gun Room in El Cerrito stocks Black Powder and supplies. Don't expect a shop to be competitive with online distributors. Instead, realize and value the "Opportunity to Purchase" and have fun shooting your rig! Cheers Tinker
