Hi Daryl,

Graf and Sons does not include shipping in the price of GOEX powder ( http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/search/keywords/goex ). The current price for FFg is $14.99 per pound, plus $4.95 S&H plus $25 hazmat fee. Thus, one pound would cost $44.94. Of course (to paraphrase the old Wise potato chip commercial), nobody can buy just one, so the shipping and hazmat costs can be diluted. For example, ten pounds of GOEX FFg would cost $179.85, or about $18 per pound.

My last purchase from Back Creek Gun Shop ( http://blackpowderva.com/ ) was ten pounds of Diamonback black powder at $10 per pound. I bought ten pounds, and paid $15 S&H plus $25 hazmat fee, for a per pound cost of $14. I find Diamondback to be the equivalent of GOEX or Schutzen, but certainly not Swiss. If I could afford it, I would buy Swiss.
