Hodgdon to cease GOEX production (real black powder)

[fishfryer]

I plan to shoot some loads using Goex and the home made stuff through a chronograph . I’ll need to put some space between the bore and the chronograph so I will not singe it !

I’d be real interested in results of test firing your homemade black. It’s one of those things many muzzle loaders think of,time to time. PM anytime would be welcome.

Charcoal made from softer woods grind to a much finer powder giving the better results. The very finest charcoal powder I’ve made came from gourds.

Gourds? I seem to know where some are!

Good news. It looks like Estes Energetics in Colorado has bought Goex and will continue production of true blackpowder.
