| I'm in Westland and normally don't shop in brick and mortar stores. I'm looking for a store in the South East Michigan area who sales Pyrodex P FFFG blackpowder. |
| The first place that come to mind:Kenokee Trading Post in Avoca. |

See I used to shoot Flintlocks with my father before he passed, still have about 10lbs of real powder for when I feel the urge to shoot again. |

Yes, most gun stores don't carry it anymore. 25 years ago I used to get it at Cabela's and a bunch of local stores. Cabela's stopped carrying it 20+ years ago and one by one the local stores either stopped carrying it or they went out of business. I travel a lot of MI to visit family and friends. Every time I'm near a new gun store I call to see if they carry BP. None of them do. Even big Fudd stores like Jay's in Clare and Gaylord don't carry it . |

If I see any I'll post where. I've had about 10lbs sealed and in my basement for a few, all different grains as I shoot both pistols and Flintlocks. |

I use Kenokee trading post for black powder since it’s local, but I have a new unopened bottle of pyrodex RS. Picked it up when Goex was scarce and looked to be discontinued, now I’m not sure what to do with it, so if you need it(I believe its FFg equivalent though) and your local to st Clair county it’s yours if you want it. |
| I’m guessing this is the faster stuff used in flintlock flash pans? |
