"A" pound?!  Can't have much fun with that - you need at least 5 or 10 pounds!  Between revolvers, rifle and shotgun, that won't even get you through a 2-day shoot.  ::)

One pound?  They come 25 to the case.  What happened to the other 24?

My uncle picked me up a pound in Birmingham Alabama while out for a ride on his Harley. He is from Columbus, Ga...lol I went up there yesterday for a visit and picked it up. I hope to be able to order a case one day!

CAS? I haven't shot CAS all year...a lb will last me a while!

All the comments above apply.  Getting Goex isn't hard.  I do it the EASY WAY . . . call "Powder Inc."   Have 5 lbs at my door a few days later.  SIMPLE.   ;D
Beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it.

+1 Wolfgang.  Except get a couple of pards together and order a 25 pound lot.  It's a heck of a lot cheaper that way.  And note that the prices from Powder, Inc. include shipping and the hazmat fee.  What you see is the total price you pay.

What do you mean you go in with friends and order a 25# lot? I order a 25# just for myself, and it lasts me about a year with a pound or so two spare. Its not all Goex tho. Most of it is Kik. Anyone need some old empty cans?

If it didn't cost so much just to ship empty cans.....I'd take a few!

Yep, I order 22# at a time from Grafs, that's  thier hazmat fee break. I'll have to admit I've been a Schuetzen snob since day one, :o really like the clean burning German charcoal sweet smell. ;D However a pard cleaning out his reloading area gave me a pound of 3f and 2f Goex, so I loaded up a bunch of course :D. Shot it in the last two matches with good results, clean up was a snap, a little extra goo in the shotgun, but we're all used to goo. :) I'll stick with the  Schuetzen for now, but if the price ever increases more than Goex I'll quickly make the change. 8)
