.	The only black powder precisely formulated and 100% American-made to insure consistent, accurate and safe shooting.  GOEX Express Black Powder KIK Powder Swiss Powder Diamondback Powder Pinnacle -- New Goex Black Powder Substitute

November 20, 2009. Overstocks. Pinnacle ammo - you know, those excellent cartridges, loaded with real Black Dawge bullets, made with care right here in Arkansas, USA. Pinnacle is an excellent black powder substitute, shoots clean and true. Well, pretty clean, and, really, won't shoot any better than the shooter holding the gun. Sorry. But we are still looking for shelf space, under all those boxes of Pinnacle ammo. We call them "remnants" because they are the last Black Dawge Cartridge Pinnacle loads we expect to make. We don't call them remnants because we dug them out of the cutoff ends of fabric at the store. Really. We are just as proud of these Pinnacle loaded ammo cartridges as we are of the Black Dawge GOEX blackpowder cartridges. But right now there is a question about Pinnacle being available in the future, so we are getting out of the Pinnacle loads line, or at least, we are trying to clear the Pinnacle shelves. Besides, our elf heard about Aunt Susie wanting a broadfork, and now it looks like we will be getting a cat for the elf. Have you looked at cat food prices this week? We were thinking of substituting a possum for the kitty, but were afraid Cousin Kevin would spill the beans. And we don't want to have to track down that elf again. Remants. Pinnacle. Another 5% off.

November 19, 2009. Happy Thanksgiving! We will be closed Thursday and Friday, November 26 and 27 this year. Orders online will be processed the following Monday, no one will answer the phone, don't bang on the door, 'cause turkey, family, cranberries, and friends will come first those days. Have a happy!

November 13, 2009. Friday the 13th. Thanks for letting us know the ammo page was broke. It should be working again, now, and hopefully forever and ever. Remnants. Overstocks. Just a thought . . ;-)

November 11, 2009. Yep. Veterans day. We honor those serving and having served in defending the security of the United States. Thanks, y'all.

November 11, 2009. Thanks to all you Pinnacle black powder substitute Shotgun shooters. We ran through the remnants. On the Pinnacle-loaded shot shells. Both the Pinnacle 12 ga. #6 and Pinnacle 12 ga. #7.5 remnant shot shells are gone. We don't have any more Pinnacle loaded black powder shot shells at all. GOEX Blackpowder shot shells we have, but not the Pinnacle-loaded shot shells.

November 11, 2009. GOEX Cannon powder - umm, we kinda ran a bit short. Like, we ran out. The next shipment is expected mid-December, 2009, sometime. Sorry, all you folks that like that big boom stuff.

November 3, 2009. Pinnacle-loaded Cartridges. Real, actual ammo, loaded with Pinnacle black powder substitute. Thanks for buying some. We hate to do this now, but, um, we overlooked something when we listed the Pinnacle ammo remnants. Yes, the ammo is first class, yes performance is top-notch. And, yes, we still gots some. But we want to change the price a bit, like, drop the price about 15%, mostly. I know, 15% doesn't sound like a lot. 15% of an hour is but 9 minutes. On a box of 500 grain 45-70, though, that drops the price from $32.30 a box (of 20 rounds) to $27.45 a box. If you buy all 122 boxes that we gots left, that would save you $591.70. Not that I am suggesting someone needs all 122 boxes of Pinnacle, 500 grain, 45-70 ammo we have on the shelf. I'm just saying, 15% can add up. And we are still looking for some more shelf space. Aunt Susie is getting into that Victory Garden thing, and wants a broadfork for Christmas, of all things. Cousin Kevin is asking for Mangel-Wurzel seeds and a book on brewing. *Shudder.* Be grateful you weren't here for his mead experiment. Who would have thought someone could goof up mead? Pinnacle Ammo. Price reduced 15%.

October 24, 2009. Sale! Sale! (Pinnacle ammo. Did I mention, Sale!?) Well, not really a sale, we just listed some odd lots, remnants, really, of our Pinnacle black powder substitute inventory. A limited amount of Pinnacle black powder substitute ammunition is available. Real available. As in, we really want someone to use and enjoy this ammo. Really. Right now we have dozens of boxes just sitting on our shelf. This is quality Pinnacle black powder substitute ammunition that should be showing you just what your gun will do with this, uh, quality Pinnacle black powder substitute ammunition. We thank you, and our shelves thank you.

October 23, 2009. Filler. Frusrated with half-full cartridges? Decided that playground sand isn't the safest filler? (Please don't try this. If the kiddies don't complain about losing their sand, it will likely act more like shrapnel when you try to fire it. I can't think sand is recommended for long barrel life, neither.)

Wonder what Black Dawge uses when loading cartridges with less powder than chock-full?

Here it is. Black Dawge Filler. This 3 lb bag full should last a while. The filler is consistent, fine grained, and is completely consumed when the cartidge is fired. And it takes up space.

October 5, 2009. #6, 12 ga. Shotgun shells. We had 'em. There were nice. All we got now is shelf space where we used to have 'em. #7.5 Shotgun shells are still in good supply, in 12 ga.
Will we have more #6, 12 ga. shells?
Will rain fall on the new Winter Wheat plantings?
Will taxes come due, year after year?
We are planning on it.

September 30, 2009. Ergh. Fixed the 'Ammo page. It didn't work. Now it does. If I could learn to spell '350' twice in a row I might get more work done. Sorry.

September 2, 2009. I just talked with Jerry. We still have the remnants of powders we are selling at a low cost to clear it out, and we have the ammo we are selling at a special price, while quanitities remain. But. We were looking for more shelf, and less stacks of ammo, and we are getting closer to our target amount of shelf showing on some things. Nothing lasts forever, eh?

September 2, 2009. The office will be closed for Labor Day, Sept. 7, 2009.

July 22, 2009. Breaking news. Chamber size on black powder shot shells is 2 3/4" long. This is the same size they have been. We just thought it would be nice to list it, so you don't have to guess.

July 22, 2009. New Winchester '76 cartridge - 45-60 caliber. In two styles, GOEX Black Powder, 350 gr. RNFP, and 45-60 Blackhorn 209, 300 gr. FP. Another new cartridge is the Trapdoor carbine Original Military Load, 45-70 405 Gr RNFP. Order these new cartridges on the Ammo page. We also now carry Jamison 45-60 brass; order that on the Catalog page (a brass page is coming real soon, now).

July 20, 2009. Powder, Inc. is not responsible for delays encountered after your order is picked up by FedEx or UPS.

June 10, 2009. Vinegar with the molasses. Ammo shipping went up, to $12 per carton, used to be $10 per carton.

June 10, 2009. Overstock Sale. Cheap prices. What happened was that we checked our shelves, and saw stacks and stacks of ammo. Well, stacks, anyway. But we have some things that we just .. want to see more shelf, and less stack. To encourage our shelves to re-emerge, we are offering a cut in price, while quantities last. We have a fixed amount of stack in mind, and when that is gone, then the special is gone, too. Order at the regular price anytime, and if we run out of stack we can make more, with any luck. Back to the special. On the Ammo page, look for the Temporary Overstock items. The Temporary Overstock specials are listed separate for the Black Powder ammo in 44 Russian, 44 Colt, 44 Mag, 45-70 350 Gr, 45-90 405 Gr, and 12 Ga #6 shot shells. In Pinnacle loads, 12 Ga #6 shot shells, and 44 Colt.

Ammo Brass Sale. As part of the Overstock Sale, we have several thousand pieces of new cartridge brass for sale, in 44 Cal. - either Russian or Remington Magnum Starline. See the buttons on the Catalog page.

May 10, 2009. Pinnacle. Pinnacle special - online! This is some fine powder, with excellent performance. And for a while - a nice price. Take a look at the 12 or 24 pound Pinnacle-only order prices. You can mix and match 2F, 3F, and EZ-Loads Pinnacle black powder substitute products in your order. Enjoy!

May 6, 2009. Bullets seem to get heavier. At least, that is what FedEx and UPS think, I guess. Anyway, they want more money. So we are changing cartons for the bullets, and bumping the shipping price. $12 per 10-box carton, or part carton. (It was $10 per 9-box carton.)

May 6, 2009. Pinnacle Black Powder Substitute - box sale. Buy a box - 12 pounds or 24 pounds - and we can give a bit of a break on price - $12/pound. Combine different Pinnacle products only - 2F, 3F, EZ-Loads in a box. 12 pound or 24 pound cartons only, though. We got a chance to pick up a bunch with a price break, and want to move it along. When we get to the end of this "extra", though, things go back to the way they were. Call 1-877-833-1799 to order on this box sale, or online at the black powder page.

March 6, 2009. The end of an era, .. uh, wait .. The end of a product. No more Skirmish. We had it, sold it. Gone. Thanks to those that have bought our Skirmish brand powder in the past, we appreciate your trust and your business.

February 20, 2009. Diamondback! New powder - blackpowder!. This blackpowder from Diamondback Powder Co., Tamaqua, PA and Canada, is pretty good. We have it in 2F and 3F for re-enactors, cartridge loaders, and generally for people shooting with blackpowder. Enjoy!

February 19, 2009. New owners at Pinnacle. We are unsure what this will mean to our GOEX Black Dawge Cartridges when loaded with Pinnacle black powder substitute. The blackpowder cartridges loaded with GOEX blackpowder are not affected. We still have Pinnacle cartridges on hand, and will be glad to serve your needs for black powder substitute ammo - but we are holding off selling Pinnacle cartridges online. For now. Please call. Except, regular blackpowder Black Dawge Cartridges, because they should be fine. Unless you just want to order them over the phone, that will be OK, too.

January 29, 2009. New friend on the link page! Loud Engineering (www.loudengineering.com) makes steel, 2" bore cannons, made to be fired as well as look good.

January 9, 2009. Happy New Year! Good News! Cylinder loaders! We have cylinder loaders again, and truly. Ulp! Hazmat fee. Sorry - new year, new fee schedule. $22.50 now, up from the $20 per package of past years. This fee applies to each black powder (5, 10, 25 pound) package and to black powder substitute packages, too. Fee change starts Monday, January 12, 2009. The hazmat fee will show up as a per-pound combined-price increase on the black powders and black powder substitutes.

December 8, 2008. Remnants. We have some remnants on the Black Powder page again - some Pyrodex and a bit of Triple Se7en FFF.

December 7, 2008. Scopes. Leatherwood / Hi-Lux makes some nifty period scopes for muzzle loaders (the Toby Bridges), and for the older period rifles (the Wm. Malcolm). And we have them. But we have two seasons upon us - Christmas and inventory. Check the Christmas price on the Toby Bridges Muzzleloader scopes. For the adventurous shooting enthusiast we have a Scopes Clearance going. Red Dot, Sharpshooter, Marksman, M-600 Tactikal. And help us prepare for inventory - these scopes aren't doing us as much good as they will on your rifle.

August 15, 2008. Looking for something else to keep the shooting safe and fun? We are making our own 1300 grain brass powder flask with safety valve, a matching brass measure adjustable from 10 grains to 120, and a sharp new (brass, again) Rotating Bullet Seater and cleaning jag. Works nifty for both ball and modern shaped, rifled rounds. All made locally in Arkansas, USA.

July 25, 2008. New office hours: Monday - Thursday 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and Fri. 7:00 A.M. to 12:00 Noon, Central Time (like in Chicago).

October 10, 2007. Scopes from Leatherwood Optics! Powder, Inc. is now a distributor for Leatherwood / Hi-Lux Optics Scopes! We now carry the classic Wm. Malcolm scope, as seen in the recent movie "3:10 to Yuma". The Malcolm scope is built using modern optics to an authentic Wm. Malcolm style. The Short Barrel Malcolm Telescopic Rifle Sight combines superior optics with a 3x shorter form for cowboy and lever action rifles, and other shorter barrel rifles, as well as most longer barrel rifles, too.

We are pleased to carry the Toby Bridges Special Edition scope for Muzzleloaders. This 3x9 by 40mm scope has also been used successfully on shotguns.

We will have several of the Leatherwood Optics modern scopes, from the value priced Marksman and Ranger, to the impressive M-600 and M-1200 CAMPUTER 600 and 1200 yard ART scopes. The US Army has been using Leatherwood Optics Automatic Ranging & Trajectory Scopes ^tm (ART) since Vietnam.
