Where are you in Canada?

Rusty Wood Trading in B.C. shows some in stock. Generally they are very expensive, but the only place I know of on the west coast that keeps Swiss in stock.

Is Becky from Hillfolk musket supplies?

If so, she used to bring powder down to bc sometimes. Good people.

Ken is probably the best source of powder in western Canada. A while ago I tried to get in on an order some friends had placed and he couldn't get enough Swiss.

Rayn'r Shine was the Canadian distributor for Swiss powder in Canada.
Hillfolk Musket Supply use to get their supplies from them.

If they are not selling Swiss to other dealers I do not know where supplies will come from.

Ken; being an aboriginal, imports small amounts over the border but he has had difficulty obtaining much Swiss powder.

Rusty Wood brings it in from America. He buys from Buffalo arms. The only problem is he nearly doubles the price. However, at least there is a supply and I'm thankful for that.

Our club has been ordering Black powder from Ontario for many years from a company called Hummason's. They were a Goex distributor and thankfully they became a Schuetzen distributor with the opportunity, which also added Swiss. I am actually the one who looks after the orders for the last six years and will let people know that if your order is in the 100 to 125 pound range the shipping, hazmat and taxes adds roughly $3.00/lb. Last year being the first with access to Swiss our clubs price was $45.00 and Schutezen was $35.00. Our club does not make any profit on that, just doing it to get powder for our club. The only red tape I had to go through was give them a copy of my PAL, so it's not like I'm a dealer or anyone who gets preference.

One of the clubs I belong to also buys bulk BP from Hummason's as well, have done so for years. Last year the price worked out to $35 per pound for BP, affordable.
