Thats right clem
pretty pathetic hey
We used to be able to get various black powders, and pyrodex, but due to our laws, here in Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory, our gun shops arent allowed to sell ANY powder (black or otherwise) AT ALL!!!!
Just in case you are re reading that last sentence in disbelief.... yes, GUNSHOPS in ACT. are NOT allowed, by law, to sell ANY propellant AT ALL!
They can sell ammo, projectiles, primers, molds, scales, powder throwers, accessories for handloading, but ZERO propellants!
We can, however, get it in New South Wales, which surrounds us, we can buy 10kg (yes 22lbs) per day, but there isnt a gunshop close by in NSW. I can probably get something from a big gunshop in Sydney (3 hours drive), such as Horsley Park Gunshop, but it is a case of getting there (timewise) I could buy it online, but they can not post/ship/freight it to me as it would be illegal for a courier to carry it over the border into the ACT. It is actually illegal for a shooter to bring it into the ACT, however most do, and the law looks the other way. Courier companies (Toll, Ipec, similar to your FedEx) cant get away with it.
If I cant find a good reliable recipe, I will have to go for a drive and get some, when I can locate some online.
