I too started with dupont then moved right along with the same powder as it changed hands. I bought 4 cases @ $3.95 a lb when GOI first came out and my wish was to live long enough to shoot it all up. I since learned to be careful what I wish for, I have several good years left but only have 3 cans left and cringe at the thought of paying $25 a lb.

Gearhart-Owen bought the black powder business from Du Pont in 1972.  Initially the cans were marked GO.  A few years later you see GOI.  For Gearhart-Owen Industries.  Then around 1976 Gearhart and Owens split.  Once Gearhart and Owens parted company the parent company name was changed to Pengo Industries.  About that time we see the name GOEX appear on the cans.  For Gearhart Owen Explosives.  Even though it was no longer Gearhart and Owen together.

Did a bulk buy about 10 years ago from Powder, Inc.  With hazmat and everything, figured out to $11.16 per lb for GOEX.  Checked more recently and I think the best deal from them is in the 18.00 per pound range, for a 50 lb order.

Just checked Powder Inc. web site
Goex is only 16.20 a lb in case lots, delivered.
Eysnford is 17.40 a lb in case lots delivered.
 KIK is 14.10 by the case.
And apparently that would be the new prices with the higher transportation and product price increases

All things considered, that's not too bad...it is true, though, shops sell it for over 20 per lb.
