Were can I buy FFF & FFFF Black Powder in Northern Maine
« on: October 21, 2017, 12:24:22 AM »
Just moved back to Northern Maine and can not fine any places that sell Black Powder. So does any body no who sells it I would be willing to travel as far south as Bangor.
Thank you

You can have powder shipped to your door by several outlets across the country including one in Main I think.

Maybe it's called UPS.....who knows.  Do some transport BP and others not? I have had it delivered here before but can't recall the carrier.

I gave up a long time ago in finding a place locally to buy BP. UPS is my local store now. I'm annoyed by the Hazmat fee, but what can we do? It is what it is.

I bought a case and saved the hazmat and shipping fees.  You can divide the case with what type grain you need also.
 Our Bass Pro has a few cans in stock but you will pay double the price to take care of the hazmat and shipping cost plus local state tax.

I used to buy Swiss by the case when I was working. Now, on a Social Security check for income, those days are over.

post office wont carry it.  For quite a while Fedex was about the only national carrier that would.  I think that might have change in the past few years, UPS might carry it now as well.

I have not had any delivered in quite a few years either, pick mine up in IL from a guy or NMLRA at the Spring shoot.
