Is Goex BP available in Calgary? I checked with Russells and WS and neither stock it.

Goex Powder.
If you need Goex WS Sports in Lethbridge have plenty, if you don't mind the trip! Speak to Mark at WS before you set off for exact grain availability.

Goex....how far to the U.S. border???
I buy mine across the border. Most sports stores have it there.....plus I can get "Swiss" there as well. Price last time around was $12.95 per pound for Goex. My only source here has it...sometimes...at $30.00 per pound and you can'y get Swiss here. Border regs....no problem at U.S. side as this is one of the few things you can return with...and at Canadian Customs you are allowed 8 Kg's every trip over.....yes, 17 pounds...must be in 1 pound containers. How far to the closest U.S. store, you may want to check. Dave

I have been able to buy it at the gunshows from one of the tables(Linda) and she charges $24 per lb.
Sometimes Proline Shooters has powder but I think that they are out of stock right now. (265-6666)
Also Hill Folks in Saskatchewan sells it along with Swiss Powder. I do not know what they cahrge but sometimes they have relatives going to Calgary and they are willing to deliver the powder.

Now...how in the Devil can someone in Alberta sell Goex for $16.00 per pound and here in Ontario it is $30.00...when you can get it? Could it be that the "Have" Province has a subsidy for the retailer of black powder? Nothing would surprise me.....

Seems alot of hassle. The distributor is in Victoria. Might just have to stick with pyrodex.

I would venture to guess that you are being "riden".
I am sometimes forced to buy from a local crook like that when I can't get to the big city. I would much rather pay the Hazmat fee and have it shipped than line his pockets.

Thats what I did I bought a bullk sack of Goex cartridge grade powder.
I really think this is the way to go because different tins of powder might not shoot the same in a BPCR.
The next batch I get I'm going to get a sack of the new Goex Express grade.
This is my supplier.
