I live in Derbyshire and there isn't anywhere that I know of.Most people use Henry Krank or Peter Starley.Its a long trip but I prefer Peter Starley's.If you do go be warned you can spend a lot of money,its like an Aladdin's cave.

Hi Dan,
Mike Noble deals with blackpowder, he at Packington, 30 minutes drive from you. He will be able to supply you with all the advice and supplies you need.

you also have Swadlincote shooting ground again 30 minutes drive away.

As mentioned in previous post you will need your documents.

I'm not in the UK, but thanks to the education these mates have given me on this Forum, I know that you can't get a rifled firearm with an SGC.Can i not get hold of these on my sgc ? and thanks guys
Also that you need additional paperwork to store black powder.

Hi Dan
you could try Gary Bate of Derbyshire arms in Hatton. He is a licenced dealer who sells BP and BP guns, a very approcahable and knowledgeable gentleman,
so I am sure will guide you through dealing with the loacal constabulary.
I travel from west Wales to get my powder from him because of the service and its cheaper because he shifts so much to reinactor regements.
Cheers

You can't say muntjack without saying mmmmm
Judging by the fact you asked if you could get the bits on the authority of your SGC, I take it the rifle isn't on your FAC? Do you have an FAC? Before you fire this antique it will need to be on an FAC, if it's a modern reproduction, it should already be on one.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

If its a smooth bore it can be held on a SGC.

You could try Mansfield Gun, they usually stock BP.

Well, seeing as he specifically said "rifle", I presumed the OP knew the difference.

You can, of course, buy black powder substitutes such as 'Pyrodex RS' without holding an explosives license. You would however probably need to show your SGC to buy the percussion caps.

henrey krank, internet jobby and they post, realy good stuff and not to over priced

I believe that the rule on this is: you can have a smooth bore muskett on a SGC, but you cannot shoot rifled slugs. Only normal miniball or shot.
As per my conversation with NRA range office.
Quite happy to be corrected if wrong.
