The price is much lower than online retailers, the default payment method is cryptocurrency, no mention of hazmat fee, and there is zero contact info. Red flags in my book. Hodgdon hasn't returned my call so just curious if someone has used this site before.

No knowledge of the company, but I know what the results will be if you order from them.
The original website used to be basic like this before they sold to Hodgdon so I wasn’t sure. Such a weird niche for a scam. How much cryptocurrency is even out there to be stolen in the muzzleloading community? 😅

209 was going for stupid money. Probably a decent scam.

Update: yep it’s a scam. It’s a bummer the shooting community has so many small businesses with basic websites so the scammers can blend right in.

Thanks for the responses

Things are actually doing really well in Nigeria. I just had a prince offer me a bunch of money!

No shit. What a weird attempt.

I can't imagine there's very many muzzleloading curmudgeons out there who are also involved with crypto.

I'm willing to bet that the number of people who have bought pyrodex and also validated the block chain, in the same day, is zero.

If you need some 209, I have a stock pile from last year. Pm me.
I’ve got enough to get by for load testing until somebody stocks up again. Trying out the bore driver eld-x at the range soon. Thanks for the offer though!

Sounds like a scam. I'd rather buy from my local Scheels or Sportsmans Warehouse during early summer. Always have at least 2 fresh containers stored in my safe.
