        does anyone actually use their own homemade powder?

            I did 1-lb out of willow charcoal, stump-remover (KNO3), and sulfur. And it was satisfying knowing that it can be done, shot well enough out of my flintlock and 45-70 trapdoor, and had a lot of fun tried to make it work.

                I bought my powder at a shop in San Jose. I can't remember the name of it. When you get off of the 101 exit, you make a right. That's about all I can recall, lol.

There's no possible way that CGN members marching alongside the Pink Pistols in the SF Pride Parade can do anything to dispel the stereotype that gun owners are conservative bigots clinging to their guns and bibles. Not a single person in the crowd is rational or reachable because the parade's for gay folks and it's in SF.

                  Old West Gun Room does carry blackpowder. They can only stock 25 lbs at a time. Currently, they only have a few lbs of Swiss 1.5 F. They said some GOEX 3F should be in within a few weeks.

                  Another source for GOEX is in Auburn at Sierra Gun Supply, just a few minutes off I-80.

                  I'm looking for a group of several N. Bay BP shooters to do a co-op bulk order of 25 lbs (mixed brands/types, 1 lb. cans) of BP from an online supplier, such as Graf's. That would make the one-time hazmat charge (about $25) more palatable.
