Muzzleloading Supplies

Which shops in the area have a nice selection of traditional muzzleloading gear? Real black powder, round balls, patches, cleaning supplies, flasks, etc.

There's no shortage of gun shops in the area, but I've never paid any attention to the blackpowder sections, since I previously had no interest in that sort of thing. I just got a Lyman Great Plains flintlock in .54, and I need the stuff to get started.

your best bet is to take a drive to Dixon's in Kempton

Thanks. One of these days I'll head up there. The Gunbuilder's Fair seems like it would be pretty cool.

yep. I do the whole reenactor/rendezvous thing and I'm also in Ephrata. There's another guy in my development (Eastbrooke) who is a blacksmith and does demos down at Landis Valley. If you ever get the itch to get into that area, send me a PM. Google Lancaster County Longrifles and try to get down to the rendezvous near Holtwood in May.
