Does anyone have any Swiss 1.5 or 2 black powder they no longer use? Looking for some for starting to shoot BPCR. Or a place where you can buy it online for personal use? Thanks much! Russ

Graf's sells it but are out. Old Eynsford is supposed to be excellent too, and that they have.

There's a few places online that sell black powder.... problem is the hazmat fees...you pretty much have to buy in bulk to offset the cost...when you buy in bulk you can save some money per pound though even with the fee

Try to find a local club. Sometimes they will buy in bulk and sell in smaller portions. Only place I have seen real BP for sale in a long time was Smith and Edwards in Salt Lake, UT.

No one near me sells it, so I order my black powder from Powder Valley.

How far are you from Montana? I know ==or knew you can get it Billings. I also think you can buy it in Miles City.
If you want, I can check things out for you. I have a feeling Big Timber would be a good place.

I usually buy the Graf and Sons brand as it is made by the same German manufacturer that I purchase black powder from in 50lb boxes for pyrotechnical use.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody! Powder Valley got me fixed up it looks like. I believe I also can get some at Red Rock in Miles City, MT. (Thanks Ken)! I also have an account at Graf & Sons, but they are out at the present time. Russ
