    Heard last Saturday, that Estes Corp., bought the GOEX plant and will restart the line shortly.

    Ya, the Old ESTES rocket company!

    you are in or close to Philly?

    time it with The Nations Gunshow, (I have tables, PM me if you do go) or a similar even and swing thru Winchester,

    FT Shenandoah is the place the NSSA has a lot of comps, maybe time it with an event there?
    his place is literally at the exit , as it empties on the hard surface road,

    I've shot a lot of it. It is strong and consistent. 70 gr from a powder measure in my 45-70 gives me over 100 fps above what I used to get with Goex, and less than 20 fps variation shot-to-shot. It is good stuff.
