Load Master

Does this bother anyone else or is it just me? We have all seen this type of activity at the grocery stores, but I never thought I would see this type of marketing tricks pulled on the reloading community. I would like to believe we, as handloaders are a little smarter at weights than the general public. Aren't we?
IMR is offering up new powders and here and there are sticking in a few containers, the same size as they always have been, but with 12.5% less powder than the full 1 pound. Maybe it is just me, but this seems deceptive and totally against IMR Mission Statement: ....."In doing so, we will deal with integrity and honesty, reflecting that people are more important than dollars and that our purpose is to bring credit to our Lord Jesus Christ."
Does it bother you that they are selling, mixed in with the same size containers, 14 oz and 16 oz containers? I wrote a letter asking why they are doing this. It will be interesting to see their reply, if I ever receive one. Looking at the container photo on their website shows 1 pound, but in the description states this: "Available in 14-OZ, 4-LB and 8-LB Containers"
