Any suggestions on purchasing 4F black powder as I move into dual deployment? Tried the local stores with not much luck -- mostly due to either licensing issues so its not carried or supply chain issues impacting delivery. Trying to avoid mail order -- and even that is hard to find. Larry

The problem with both pyrodex and smokeless powders is that they need to be well contained to burn fast enough. Especially smokeless powders burn very slowly if they are not contained well. Not a problem in firearms, there's that bullet thing that keeps everything contained and under high pressure in a very small volume. But there can be a problem with ejection charges. Specifically, it can be problematic getting repeatable results.That's why pyrodex and smokeless are safer to store and transport (and thus might not have as strict regulations).This is a good comparison video https://youtu.be/oGyhsQug03o. They used smokeless as a "fuse", and you can see how smokeless burns slowly and unenthusiastically. Also how much faster black powder burns that pyrodex. As long as they are uncontained as in the video. If those three powders were contained while they burn (as they are in firearms), they'd all burn almost instantly.Some people reported success with pyrodex, but they had to specifically design holders for it to ensure proper containment. Problem that doesn't exist with black powder. Smokeless powders? It'd be even harder.

The last place I’m aware of in CA that had it was the gun shop in Jamestown but they closed and then reopened with new owners so I think the likelyhood of them still having it is low.

I did go and call most gun shops in the south bay -- and due to shortages or licensing, most don't have or carry it. I did speak to Bass Pro Shops in San Jose and they said they carry black powder -- but do not know what is coming on the next truck. They said to keep calling back. It is possible that even with mentioning Goex 4F she thought of different powders. Will keep looking -- thanks for the discussion and feedback.

Just to be smart, if you have 50 lbs of black powder at home you are asking for trouble. That could do quite a bit of damage if you have an accident. I don't keep more than a few lbs. I use it up quickly shooting each week.

Um, I think the intent is to use it for parachute deployment.
Exploding pumpkins and pipe bombs are usually discussed in
anarchist forums on Reddit ... and they won't choose black powder.
