This is the first that I've ever heard of the obatex, b.p. propellent. Very interesting and the story behind it is quite interesting, too. I've never gotten on the website (below) before, but it gives some insight into "world" m.l.s and the restrictions we don't have to deal with here in the U.S., today anyway. The comments on obatex powder is right below the beautiful English patterned flinter with the containers of standard GOEX and Olde Eynsford. the $180.00 per pound comment was a brow-raiser, too. The article is over a year old, too, so I guess this powder has had some time to be usage proven, especially in a country under some serious, harsh restrictions regarding their import of sporting powders. Looks like the powder may be restricted to South Africa's usage only(?) I didn't see any exporting comments on the powder; may have missed it.
