Why no Black Powder Section on PAFOA?

Where does everyone get their powder? I am in Bucks and have 2 half cans that are almost 10 years old but last I looked real black powder was unobtanium locally. And whats with black powder costing $20 a pound (yea I know.....cry me a river). I thought with a muzzleloader I was set for life. I have molds for everything and hundreds of caps......But you couldn't find the powder even before covid.

I found Black Powder At 2 shops last saturday in Clearfield .

Dixons Muzzleloading in Kempton is our local source here in the Lehigh/Berks area. The problem with BP is it qualifies as a true explosive, versus smokeless powder which is merely flammable so it has more severe storage and handling requirements. A lot of stores don't want to deal with that.

Cabela's had quite a few, when I was there about 3 weeks ago. You don't have to wait in the stupid gun counter line for them either.
