Hi Tac,
I envy your misery.
Although, I do undrstand the "****es" endured by the numerous gun restrictions imposed by your gov't. Hopfully ours won't get that far.
How do you purchase black powder? Don't they have severe restrictions on it?
Most cities here in Oregon have made the security ordinances so stringent that dealers either don't want the hassle, or can't get insurance.
Springfield being one of the exceptions.
We have customers that drive 200 miles just to buy 1 or 2 pounds of it at the shop where I work.
We can only ship it in 25 pound lots. And it has to be marked and prepared in a very exact manner.
