Although I can count on my fingers the number of gunsmiths and suppliers in my area they all sell powder of various grades and manufacturers. I haven't had to buy any for quite some time now since in my case the four or five pounds of fffG and two of ffffG have been sufficient for my purposes. If I do some reloading of 45/70 cartridges I will buy another pound or two along with some primer caps for the job but I seldom shoot more than a dozen rounds per hunting trip if that many. Lets just hope that the current situation regarding the classification of BP firearms as relics and curios continues. Vigilance and proactive stances by shooters is the only way we will be able to preserve our sport from the antis.
