APP powder in Canada?
« on: November 10, 2020, 08:55:15 AM »
Does anyone know of a source in Canada for APP black powder substitute? Their website lists a dealer in Alberta but they know nothing about it. Currently using Bullseye in .38 special and .45 Colt Extra Short (.45 Cowboy Special) but want more smoke a boom!

Their website is dated...  2009

They list  GANDER MOUNTAIN at
LAKE MARY, FL  32746, which closed their doors over 2 years ago

another location - AMMO ATTIC, INC.  @ 1590 S. WICKHAM ROAD
MELBOURNE, FL  32904  closed for good 6 years ago and the building was razed


 American Pioneer Powder, Inc. offices @ 20423 State Road 7 #F6-268, Boca Raton, Florida 33498
does not answer the phone Toll Free 888.756.7693


 I doubt  I'll find it any at other listed dealers ..what I have,  I got at Gander Mountain when they were closing out...

 :)  Dirty Dick   ;)

Contact "Scarlett" at "Bullets by Scarlett."  She is a MAJOR dealer for APP and should have up-to-date information and may even be able to ship to Canyada.

Years ago I got a couple of cans of the original stuff from McLeod Bl,asting near Victoria BC. (They are still unopened - Are you near Victoria?) They MIGHT have it, or know where to get it. HAZMAT & shipping are the critical factors. Personal or private deals at matches in the US are impossible for the forseeable future.

MCLEOD BLASTING, 4546 LOCHSIDE DRIVE, VICTORIA BC CANADA V8X 2E1         PH 250 658 2535.

I looked for a website, but only found this;  https://sales.rocks/company/mcleods-blasting-supplies-ltd

Unfortunately Blackthorn 209 was made for high-octane inline rifles and requires a 209 shotgun primer to set it off.....

Also as an addendum as it twer . .  TA DA:  Blackthorn 209 is strictly and specifically prohibited by SASS rule.  In point, NO duplex propellant is allowed in the CAS Game.

Stay Well

I'll have to dig in the back of my overstuffed shed to see what it's like after all these years. I'll get back to you.

I have purchased several kinds of the fake stuff but never really got hooked as the real gunpowder works well for me.

Just as another Addendum:  Addendum infiniteum as it tiz . . . The older formulations of APP were quite dusty.  Rather a PITA to load.  This may be part of the reason some folks are hesitant to give it a try these days.  The "Older" PITA formulations can be identified by color.  The old stuff is a light grey colour and quite dusty.  Also a different color container.  The old container was a sort of pastel beige container.

I'm still digging around trying to find a source in Canada for Dirty Dick.  Let us cross our collective fingers.
