Last week in Louisiana I paid $56.98. What’s it going for where you are?

Seems to depend on the flavor, varget and benchmark are around 54/lb, tac= 42, local prices are generally pretty close to powder valley it seems.
 
I just ordered an 8 lb keg of MagPro from Brownell’s, works out to $37.50 per pound delivered, including 8.7% sales tax. (Taking advantage of Brownell’s current free hazmat). Pretty good price for a slow burning powder. Works very well in .270WSM.
 
I just payed $36,00 for a lb of silhouette at Spoetmans warehouse. They had a 4 lb jug there for $140.00 but I've never used it before and didn't want to jumped in with both feet until I decided I liked it.
I don't know why I wouldn't like it, I like most of yhe old Winchester powders.
 
I use Ramshot X-terminator in my .223 loads. Currently in Sioux Falls at Scheels its $30.99. Two weeks ago it was 10% off all reloading components. Not a big discount but I still stocked up.
 
Price varies by brand and store here in SC. $29/lb for Shooters World ball powders up to $55/lb for IMR varieties. I have also seen Ramshot powders on the lower $30s per pound range.
 
I tend to shop sales/clearance buys on powder...and am open to trying something new.

I recently paid $25/lb for Winchester 244 and $30/lb for N310
Beckwith’s has W244 but it was $45 last time I was in there - about two weeks ago.

I guess I just don’t shop as much as anyone else. I’m stocked up for the long haul and just don’t look. When I get back in town I’ll check Pass Bro and see how much they want for whatever they have in stock and report back.

I’m down south for a few days. Death in the family. 😞
 
I stopped at Pass Bro after work to get some prices and give y’all an idea what we got around here. Heretis:

There’s no tags on anything, the shelves are mixed up and I couldn’t get a price for the 4227 because the one employee working the hunting area was overwhelmed. Prices range from $38-$45/pound and there’s only one pounders. I couldn't get close enough to the counter for a picture behind the counter of the “primer section” - the box of Rem 1-1/2 and the two boxes of CCI 400’s.

There is a pretty good selection of Hornady bullets but the prices are on par with Midway.
