Had a good conversation today with Craig Kirkland (GOEX distributor out of Evanston, WY; Bear River Powder) and he said the GOEX facility will stay in LA, and most likely with the same crew. And as far as he was concerned, signs point quite favorably to sporting powder being available again at some point in the future by the new owners (meetings pending with the new owners for future production plans). Craig's been in the GOEX distributing business for many years, and I trust his info as up to date as any available at this time.
I talked with Craig at the Wyoming State Muzzle Loaders Association convention down in Casper, WY. It was very well attended, and the annual indoor trader's rendezvous was as good as it ever was with just about any and everything available on the tables for the most discriminating muzzle loading enthusiast. Good doin's and good news going forward with the GOEX concern!
