Can anyone tell me what the current price of BP is. I'm trading a bunch with a guy and need an idea of my value. jd

It depends on where you buy it.

My local gun store, and it's the only one in the area that sells it, sells it for $26 per pound. You can buy it from Back Creek Gun Shop in Winchester, VA, for about $17.50 a pound. You can buy it from Powder Inc for as low as $17.10 per pound in 25 pound lots. $26 per pound in 5 pound lots. $20 per pound in 10 pound lots. The Powder Inc prices include shipping and hazmat. The Back Creek prices do not.

So, basically $17-$26 per pound.

Here is a list of Goex distributors:

Some vendors have web sites.

I never ceased to be amazed how many vendors in the Civil War era supply chain have no or poor web presences.

Last time I bought some it was $16 lb. When I was at Ben Avery it was $20 lb.

Bought a 25# bulk pack of 2F Goex for $12.00/lb.about 3 weeks ago. Of course, for that price, I had to pick it up in person at the distributor. Their price on 3F was slightly lower.
