    Where to buy real blackpowder (not Pyrodex) in SF Bay Area or Sacramento?

    Does anyone know who sells the real stuff (Goex, Swiss, etc.)? I need some for a muzzleloader.

    I have plenty of Pyrodex which I use for BPCR.

      I always get mine at the Cow Palace or Vallejo. CSACANNONEER if you know of a shop or another source could you please let me know too?

        I don't know of anywhere up there. I get Goex at a local range in LA or at reenactments.

          After the one supplier in Sonoma county quit carrying it, I found mail order to be the best way to purchase. Works better to buy more than one pound though.

                  sonoma county...figures. i head there was a guy back behind the target off petaluma hill road that dealt in black powder and ordering thing with a small sur charge. he does receiving for C&R stuff too. i never personally went through him but i heard his prices were reasonable. theres a few stores in petluma some of them are new. i have not been there either but my friend bought a glock 45 there. i was mostly a montana hawk guy. might call the ones in petluma and see what they have. if you stay on the road from two rock and not turn towards the dump, it drops you right down town petluma. ones like liberty armory and theres dans guns and one or two others i think. theres one near the brick building on peteluma Bvld north in a brick hatcher building.

                    I believe you can order up to 25 lbs max., and have it sent to your house.

                      Last I checked, the federal limit is 25 pounds, but I believe california has a 5 pound limit.

                        No 5 pound limit. Our unit regularly orders 25 pounds a year.

                              My unit orders up to 200 lbs at a time and. makes multiple orders per year. We do get it shipped in 25lb boxes with only one box per address.
