Yeah, I'm not buying gas until it gets back to .249! I had a truck with saddle tanks for a full load of 55 gallons. At the current price then of .249 I could get 50 gallons for $12.50! Still waiting.

I bought from them early this year. Call and talk to them. Mom&Pop type. I had no issues.

35+ years ago my son and I were burning up so much black powder I began buying it in case lots.  Back then, even with the hazmat I was buying it for the same price our local dealers were.  As much as we were shooting it was a significant savings.   

I probably had 5 or so pounds left when hillaryhole got elected to the senate and even though I didn't live in her state I got a little spooked and ordered a case.  Well, I shot quite a bit of that and helped a friend who couldn't find any with a couple pounds.  I probably had 15 lbs. left when ohomo got elected and I got spooked again and ordered another case.  I'm not sure how much I have left, maybe 20 lbs.?  I don't shoot near as much BP as I used to, my son has been gone since 1991 so whatever it is, it's enough to last me my time on earth.

It's a sad situation regardless.

Thanks.. Good to hear they are small independents..

I like to buy mine in case lots.....
I think the legal maximum is 50 lbs for an individual, does that sound right..?

RJ, I think that's right by Federal law, without a magazine but I believe state laws vary.  Missouri is 50 lbs.
