Reliable stores both online/in person to buy black powder supplies from
I receive a lot of questions about muzzleloading, especially from beginners, ask anytime at ILoveMuzzleloading(at)gmail.com, but this one stuck out to me, and I felt it needed to be answered publicly to help others out there with the same question.
“I am a beginner and don’t have a big budget but I want quality tools that will last. I want to get into this hobby as it is something unique and speaks to me. I love guns but I don’t like the expense and the community can difficult. Can you help?”
It can be hard to wade through the forums and facebook groups, that often devolve into arguing about what is “best”. I’ve listed a few of my favorite muzzleloading “General Stores” below with links to their sites for you to check out. Each of these businesses I personally know the owners of, or they have been doing business with rave reviews for decades. If you can’t find what you are looking for from these fine folks, I would hazard a guess it doesn’t exist.
Dixie Gun Works
Flintlocks LLC
Track of the Wolf

Graf and Sons

You’ll find a variety of items in every budget from these businesses, many specializing in the good ol “made in the USA” products that I wholeheartedly recommend.
I hope you enjoy your entrance into our hobby, question asker, we welcome you with open arms.
