Be happy with those prices. Around here most Hodgden powders are selling $50/lb. or more.

Around here they’re not on the shelf at all, at any price.
Mail order is pretty much the only option. Driving 200+ miles each way on the chance a big retailer might have something for “less” costs more than HazMat and S/H put together. Running the math is essential.

Wasn’t a neighbor, it was an “estate sale” and I didn’t know them at all.

Lucky You! Those prices are quite a bit lower than anyplace that I have looked.

Those are old stock prices. Better grab it while you can, when the restock occurs, you will be joining the rest of us.

I’m feeling pretty good about getting 8 pounds of High Gun for $239 a couple weeks ago.

I paid $39.99/lb for HP-38 today at Bass Pro & $89/1000 for Winchester SPP. Remington SPP were $94/1000. I probably didn't need the 2k primers & two pounds of hp-38 but I know I won't ever run out now. Wife can consign them at LGS if I kick the bucket before I use them up.

Maybe it's a mallard train...We Yanks are grateful for the few imports we are continuing to receive for our northern brethren. Hang in there. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.*
* but, just in case, get off the tracks. The light might be an oncoming freight train.

I believe that is the same powder as Ramshot Enforcer. Good deal in today’s market prices.

well, wife is getting a promotion at work. Time for some Ramshot relabeled powder today
At the big box stores - yes. Try some smaller stores.

The Sportsmans Warehouse in my area when through the roof on prices also. I was able to get 7lb of Win 244 before the prices went up. I paid mid 30 for them.
They have lot of primers at exorbitant prices. My honey hole dried up.
I'm in pretty good shape for now on primers and powder, thankfully.

Ditto - but it’s going to be Saturday and I don’t actually have any honey holes so it’s going to be the pawn shop, a couple of LGS’ and PassBro. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I find a brick of primers and more than one or two pounds of powder, total.

My favorite powder dealer is very good about not raising prices on stock they already bought, and apply price increases as new stock arrives…so I got my recent buys at approximately $33/lb with 4 and 8 pound jugs of N320, 3N37, and N140
Between working Friday morning and then heading to the funeral that afternoon I have 9 or 11 counties to cover. Of course most have more cows than people. Try to catch sportsman’s too.
