Last summer (2-3 months ago) I visited the BassPro in Springfield, MO. They didn't have much on the shelf for BP accessories (no bullet molds, anyway) but I did hunt someone down & asked about black powder, as there is none to be had in my neck of the woods. Seems they keep it in back, in an approved powder storage container (would be nice if they put a sign out on the shelf that said they can't keep it out there, please ask for assistance). I got away with a pound each of Goex FFg & FFFg (didn't ask about other grades as I don't have a cannon or flintlock). It was $14.99/lb, about twice what I expected but I was happy to get it.
