Black Powder sellers in Colorado

[khabuda]

Hello,

Does anyone in northern Colorado know of anyone selling black powder? All of the online retailers that I've found have fairly high MOQs. Jax is out of stock at the moment, but I'll try them again next week.

https://www.erockets.biz/aerotech-c...1-required-to-pay-for-parcel-select-shipping/ has the Aerotech ejection charge kits which may be an option for you. Granted it's $3 each but the shipping appears to be only $4 for the order even if you buy multiples.

Or just get the 12 pack from the mothership:

Anyplace that sells muzzle loader supplies should have it. Sportsmans Warehouse, Murdoch's, etc. Have you tried them?

You want to use ffffg (also called 4F) black powder. This is the size of the grains in the container. It is the smallest particle size. The smaller the size, the faster it burns, producing a quick and healthy ejection of the parachute.

It’s a much better deal to buy in bulk:

The only stuff that the big stores around here carry is smokeless and BP substitute. Triple 7 and such.

There we go. Even with hazmat that's still almost 1/10th the cost per charge compared to the individually packaged ones.

Show up at a launch, vendors can fix you up.

Motojoe carries black powder. Contact them through their website or they always attend NCR launches and often SCORE and Hartsel launches.

Did you ever find any? I've been calling around but haven't found anybody who carries it. If you're going to order from CSRocketry I'd split the shipping cost with you if your local-ish to Fort Collins and wanted to meet up.

Joe, the guy who runs NCR sells it at his table at the launches. His house is in boulder, and it can be picked up there if you need it before a launch. I just ordered the singles from Aerotech to get me through this next launch, and I'm going to buy some while I'm at the field. http://www.moto-joe.com/ email them there to arrange a pickup. My next NCR launch is likely going to be September. If that timeframe works for you I can pick up another can for you.

Elk Bomb in Milliken sells black powder as well. You have to sign a simple form but no other questions asked.
