We got it from our distributors yesterday and it stinks. Goex was also making several other cheaper brands like Graffs , Kik, old Edonford and Elephant. Swiss is about the only BP available now so we can expect the price to go up up up and and availability spotty Tina checked availability as soon as we heard and everything was already out of stock.. Sure glad I got a couple cases before this happened. What we will soon see with Swiss is it will be equal in price to smokeless powder because there is no other to compete.

I imagine it will be virtually impossible to get black powder here in Alaska now. I have not seen any in the 3 years I’ve been back up here.

I sure am glad I got 3 bottles of Olde Eynsford 1 1/2 F at Forsyth this year. I now have a total of about 10 lbs of 1 1/2, O.E., 2F & 3F Goex so I think I'm OK for awhile, at my age, & not shooting as much as I used to.

Change.com is a very liberal site, and seems to have already taken down the page for GOEX.
American made black powder but just be a thing of the past. With the advancement in smokeless muzzle loads and substitutes I really don’t think black powder had much of a life anyway. I don’t know anyone close to my age that messes with black powder and most the the old guys, well, they are not going to be around forever.
