The Web site reads like they are in full production and distribution, but I haven't heard of any actual powder sightings.

They will be shipping regular Goex about any time now. Olde Eynsford will be along in a couple of months. They will be using the same dealers/distributors.
That's per the chairman of Estes a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks Don. I had missed that statement.
He told me that in a pm conversation on another forum. But he did elude to it in posts he made on that forum under the topic about Goex powder.
Patience and perseverance I suppose.
Just as long as they are on track -- and we are all keeping the faith. Everyone wants them to succeed.
Very good! I had thought Hodgon drops making black for good, can someone enlighten us just what is happening there? is another company picking it up; what gives, from a guy who is not informed..
Hodgdon sold Goex to Estes Rocketry about 2 years ago. Goex has always been slated for "early 2023" for shipping. All seems to have gone according to plan. I'm excited.Quote:

I got the same e-mail. Looking forward to the e-mail announcing the return of Olde Eynsford.Quote:

After it is produced, it will take a little time for it to work it’s way down through the distribution chains.
Easily the most discussed topic on the interwebs
It seems black powder is still needed in various military stuff...Quote:

That WSJ article is pretty wild, and full of half truths. I wonder if the guy that penned that is the same one that said a few years ago the firearms industry was going belly up because new shooters weren't coming in and the older shooters didn't like the lightweight plastic stocked guns?
It also doesn't mention there's only been one manufacturer of blackpowder in the US since the Hazard plant burnt to the ground over 100 years ago.
Latest news I heard was late July/Aug for deliveries.
They are making powder now.
Is it out on the shelves?
Nope. Couple months probably.
Statement on the Maine Powder House Web site:
6/8/2023 – Good evening! Dealers received an email from GOEX on their progress. The email wasn’t full of much information, other than to say GOEX is back in production, but are processing some government contracts first. No update on when they will start production on sporting powder, hoping they will give us an update by the end of the month.
