  Never seen it myself,did a quick google on it manufactured in germany.From there site seem like a tarditional style black powder,not a substite like pyrodex.

[peabody]

yes, germany. the guy at graf's was telling me, alotta shooters like it...

says he hasent shot it, just what he's heard...soooo ??

we'll give it a whirl.

we drove all the way to mexico missouri, fog, rain, and flat tire.

just to get ''real'' black powder. and looked for a .36 caliber bullet starter..[no such thing exists]

the flat tire was , terrible,  screwed the jack in....and it stripped out.....

the car was old junky geo metro.  right front tire.

sooo. buddy david and i just picked it up, and hung spare on lug bolts,  we barley got it , kicked on,

screwed nuts back on, and went home.

took all day to get powder ...  ....  360 miles round trip.

Ask in the wanted area someone will make you one....

Wano makes the Sheutzen and Grafs and Sons brand powders.  It is not a lot different than GOEX.  I have several friends that prefer Sheutzen over GOEX.

BTW: schwarzpulver just means black powder.

  With gas prices the way they are and the fact they will be going up, I dont think I'd gripe to much bout the Metro. Give it some tlc and ya might be amazed by it. A friend has one he has put 280,000 miles on and is still running fairly good, but he is meticulas with his maintainance.
May hafta try this powder myself sometime.

naw... gonna pass on the metro...lol !!!    i used to own it, sold it to my buddy,  had 200k on it when i sold it, he drove it a year, hit three deer in three weeks.... shes crumpled up pretty good, big hammer,straightend things out a bit. and shes still going.[looks like crap]

whenever i have a job ...i drive the long haul tanker truck's.... so i dont drive my personal vehicles very much, and like now laid off, i never leave the farm very much.

if i visit a neighbor, its usally on the tractor....


i like my full size chevy pickup... it ''fits'' ... that metro was way to small for me.

heck ? if i could... i would never leave the farm, i'ed go Amish,  but i'ed keep the rubber tires on me tractor...

[Hawken50]

  Know what ya mean peabody.If i could stay on my little 140 acres i would.But mans gotta have a job these days.

[voyageur1688]

  Wish I had even 20 acres but I live in town and hate it but I love my house and just dont have the cash to buy rural land and have it moved onto it.
As for cars I like full sized as well and am not comfortable in those lil motorized roller skates either but do like the gas mileage they get. The friend of mine who has that one is a lil over 6 ft and weighed bout 320 til he was diagnosed with cancer an went through chemo. hes down to bout 225 now but that aint the way to lose weight.

[peabody]

ya, sorry bout yer friend, im the same size. but dont wanna lose it like that either.

hopes he's better.
