Little difference between The Holy Black and the Heathen..`Stuff`

[brazosdave]

don't know if it's considered respectable or not, but I shoot Triple 7, mainly because that's what the gun store here in town stocks. I does make a bit of smoke, and a lot of sound, not as good as pure black powder I'm told, but probably less volatile. Anyhow, not knowing any better, it's what I shoot.

Brazos Dave, while many of us prefer to shoot authentic gunpowder, we also understand that in this 21st Century we live in, not every place can sell real BP because of storage laws.

Trip 7 is good stuff, 'tho a bit pricy at most places I find it.  But ... I live in a location where one of the best BP warehouses is less than 45 minutes away, so I don't even have to pay hazmat fees and shipping, besides what is figured into the selling price, naturally.  The last I bought was a couple summers ago and I shared a 50 lb. box at less than $11.00 per pound.  (I'm sure their prices have gone up since then, but it's still a good place to do business with.)  It's Deer Creek Powder, Inc.  They don't sell online but they take phone orders.  They are in Indiana and can be reached at: 765-525-6181.

Perhaps you could have some delivered to yer door, local laws allowing, of course.

One time down at Ambush we were shooting through windows.  Wasn't much of a breeze, what there was was left to right.  Guess what, shooter started in the left window.  Goes to the center window, and there's all his smoke from the first window.  Then he goes to the third window and there's all his smoke from the first and second window.  The unloading table was just right of the stage.  It was soon abandoned, until the smoke cleared.  I've got that on film, if I can find it I'll post it.
