May 15, 2012. Fuse. Fast, fast burning fuse. Which is what we got. Our last shipment of Shogun fuse, timed at 1 foot im 28 secomds is not what we got in the last shipment. Since we had sold the last of the 1 foot/28 second fuse, we really don't have a choice -- fuse orders get the new, fast-fast fuze. 1 foot in 2.2 seoonds (that's 1 foot in 2 and 1/5th seconds) is what the label says. We only noticed that today, sorry. That is 44 seconds for a 20 foot roll. Or, it takes 12.7 feet to burn the 28 seconds of one foot of the 3.0 mm Shogun. Way fast fuse. Sorry, that is what we have for the moment.

May 10, 2012. Scheutzen 3F is back in stock. And Pinnacle. You remember Pinnacle black powder substitute, right? We still have some. But we ran out of the earlier, less pricey Pinnacle 2F. So what is available now isn't as "less pricey". Pinnacle 2F and 3F, available in 12 pound and 24 pound cartons at the current Pinnacle 3F price.

March 19, 2012. Powder and Caps. Y'all did remember we have a page to buy a small powder order with caps packed with it, didn't you? We had hoped to stick a bunch of caps in if you wanted to order that many, but didn't know how much room we had to work with. So we limited the orders for powder, caps, and combined hazmat fee to 1,000 caps. We just changed the order form, so you can now order 2,000 or even 5,000 caps with a 5 or 10 pound order. See the Caps and Powder page for all the excitement and, um, choices. Any questions, give Jerry a call. Thanks.

March 12, 2012. GOEX Express. It seems GOEX had an exciting event in June 2011, that has delayed their plans for re-introducing GOEX Express. Plans now are for a date some time in 2013.

March 12, 2012. Schuetzen 3F. Our stock on hand of Schuetzen FFFg is getting low. Orders by phone only, for Schuetzen 3F.

March 1, 2012. GOEX 2Fg. Our stock on hand of GOEX FFg is getting low. Orders by phone only, for GOEX 2F.

February 22, 2012. Pinnacle 3F. We made a special purchase that lets us offer the 12 pound and 24 pound carton orders, once again, in both 3F and 2F. The 3F cost is higher. We noticed that, right off, and it isn't a misprint. Sorry. The 2F prices will stay the same, while supplies last, unless something changes. Gack. Gotta hate those caveats.

January 10, 2012. More caps -- CCI #10, #11, and the 24% hotter, #11 magnum caps. For revolver, muzzleloader, and muzzleloader hot shooters, respectively, we can pack a few with a small black powder order on our CapsNPowder page. You can place larger caps orders on the caps page on BlackDawgeCartridge.com. And the regular Powder page is still our regular Powder page. For regular black powder orders. Oh, you ought to know what I mean. Really. We just added the new caps types on the same pages where the CCI four-winged Musket caps were. And didn't change the black powder page for the new caps. Because there weren't any caps on the Order Black Powder page, and there still aren't any caps on the Order Black Powder page. Not because we don't want you to order caps and black powder (we do, that is why there is a caps page on BlackDawgeCartidge.com, and a CapsNPowder page on PowderInc.com, after all) but because it would make the OrderBlackPowder page look cluttered. Caps. CCI #10, #11, #11 magnum.

January 3, 2012. (Yes, another update today. It's been busy, OK?) Schuetzen Powder. We have some. 1F, 2F, 3F black powder. Order from the Black Powder Order page. And enjoy another fine black powder from PowderInc.com (Oh, where does this spiel come from? How do we stop it, so early in an otherwise promising year?). According to Schuetzen, Granulation Sizes: 1Fg - 1.7 to 1.18 mm (muskets & Cannons); 2Fg - 1.18 to 0.6 mm (.45 - .68 caliber rifles); 3Fg - 0.85 to 0.3 mm (.32 - .45 caliber rifles). Now, I know that back in the 1970s Congress passed a law that made Metric measurements the law of the land. And on a job one time I learned that there are 25.4 millimeters (mm) per inch. So, if I take one of my shoes off, I can figure that 1.18 mm is about 1.18 / 25.4 or .046 inches, which makes more sense to me than 1.18 mm. So I figure 1F Schuetzen is .046 to .067 inches; 2F is .0236 to .046 inches, and 3F is .012 to .033 inches. Why they couldn't have said that in the first place just baffles me. It is like they weren't speaking strictly American or something. Schuetzen. Made in Germany of Alder Charcoal.

January 3, 2012. GOEX Cowboy granulation was discontinued a while back. We have less than fifty pounds left, so online orders have been ended. We have a few cans remaining, and it is still the same GOEX product. Please call if you want a can or 46 (just picking a number at random ;-).

December 30, 2011. Skirmish #3 (sic) (Just Because) is back. That 'sic' just means it looks like a typographical error, I know it looks like a typo, but it really isn't a typo even though it looks funny. In this case, it cannot look like '3F', because, well, Just Because. Not for Skirmish powder, anyway.

December 20, 2011. *sigh* Well, it seemed like a good notion, a tide-me-over kind of make-do thing that would get us from here to there. See, we ran out of GOEX 4Fg some while back (October 4th), and don't expect more before Feb-Mar of 2012 (next year). And it *seemed* like a good idea to suggest KIK 4Fg as an alternative 4Fg powder, and it seems to have been fine for a number of folks. Only we are running low on KIK 4Fg. Low as in, we don't know when the next boat comes in (from Europe), and we don't have enough left to proudly promote KIK 4Fg as "We gots lots! Buy a bunch!" kind of promise that listing KIK 4Fg implies. So I just now shut off the web page block for KIK 4Fg. *heavy sigh* Jerry doesn't have enough for a big order. If you call, Jerry can sell what he does have without taking anyone's money for something he can't ship. Now, I could say that dropping the online purchase option for that one powder, KIK 4Fg, is to be courteous to you, the customer, but really doing it this way saves Jerry and the crew a bunch of headaches and work, tracking down orders, resolving changes, etc. If you do want 4Fg powder, and you want to see if you can get some of Jerry's last cans (less than 1,000, I am sure, though he hasn't told me how many are left, maybe only 100) give Jerry a call. I might mention, though, we still seem to have a bunch of the Swiss 4Fg, if you don't mind the very high quality for a bit (*cough*) higher price.

November 21, 2011. GOEX 3F Express! We got 50 pounds! Call now! $19.50/pound delivered for 25 or 50 pounds! If you want less, we can figure that cost, too! Remember, GOEX withdrew their EXPRESS powders from the market earlier this year, and plan a re-introduced product early in 2012. So this is a real find, for someone. Because of the very limited quantity, we are only taking phone or walkin orders for this FFFg GOEX Express powder.

June 24, 2011. OK, so yesterday was the big day, and I got the word late. Skirmish -- a good, low cost powder for cannon (#1) and rifle and pistol (#3) use -- is here. Not just here, but shipping, as of today. What this means is that you can order Skirmish powders (#1 or #3 (labelled that way because we had to, Just Because). But, sorry, I dropped the ball, 'cause now it is too late to, like, 'pre-order'. Because pre-orders happen when you take orders before you can ship, and we can ship now, which means you can only order, not pre-order. Unless you order so much we run out, and then you might be able to talk Jerry into pre-ordering for when we get that next shipment in. But pre-ordering after we start shipping just wouldn't be the same thing as like ordering before anyone else got to try it. But now you can try this new Skirmish powder to figure out what it does for you. We figure that re-enactors, cowboy action shooting, and some hunters will enjoy this consistent blackpowder.

April 19, 2011. Pinnacle-loaded bullets. Well, here goes a tragic tale. See, when we set up the Black Dawge Cartridge site, we had some rounds loaded with Pinnacle black powder substitute (and a very good substitute it is!). But the Pinnacle makers stopped making it available to us, or something like that, so we stopped loading Black Dawge Cartridge Pinnacle loads. Only we had some still in stock, so we had a page up with those Pinnacle-loaded rounds, and we let people buy them, since it just made good sense to sell what was good and useful, and seemed the courteous thing to do. Anyway, when I (the webmaster or typist or whatever hat I am wearing at the moment) set up the Black Dawge Cartridge web site, and 'moved' all the ammo and bullets and scopes and things, I got lazy. And overlooked a couple of pages. For instance, until this morning, if you went to the Catalog page, and clicked on the bullet ballistics page, Whoa!, you could still get to those older pages, including the Pinnacle loaded ammo. So - the tragic part, or at least a bit discourteous. See, that was a mistake on my part, leaving the ballistics page pointing to 'abandoned' web pages. And I cleaned that up this morning. Sometime after the end-of-April inventory, we hope to list remaining Pinnacle loads and any other odds and ends where they can be ordered by, well, just anyone that is interested. Because finding what you need should be a simple matter, not something you have to dig and work for.

March 21, 2011. We have been waiting for GOEX Express. GOEX explained the delay to us - they are withdrawing GOEX Express powders (not the traditional GOEX powders, GOEX powders are in stock and well supported, and a delight for all) from the market as of now, March 2011. GOEX plans are to re-introduce the GOEX Express product in January 2012.

January 17, 2011. We ran out of the brass powder flasks and measures made here in Arkansas, USA. We don't know when they will be back in stock.

June 25, 2010. Shelf space! Yeah, we found some shelf space! Umm, I mean, we just sold the last six (6) boxes of Pinnacle loaded 45-70 Govt., 405 gr. ammo. The last of it. No more, unless you ask us really, really nice, 'cause we have been looking for that shelf space, and we aren't planning on loading any more Pinnacle ammo. Not that we wouldn't, for a special occasion, or the right price, if the moon is in the right phase and taxes go down. Just kidding. 45-70 Government loads in 350 gr., 405 gr, and 500 gr., and 405 gr. Trapdoor cartridges, loaded with GOEX black powder, are all available at BlackDawgeCartridge.com. It is just the Pinnacle loaded cartridges we are clearing out. Which we got closer to doing, today. Thanks!

We offer ammo cartridges in quality Blackpowder loads.
