Oh My Goodness!

Been waiting for almost a year to find some unobtanioum (TS 15.5) for my 243 AI.
Stopped by my local gun shop on the way home this morning. They got some in yesterday!!!
THEN I SAW THE PRICE!

OMG! Hope this isn't the way of the future.
Bought 1 lb (I never do that).
Won't be using much of this....

Our hobby (obsession) just keeps getting more expensive. At least Hodgdon has kept their prices a little lower. I do like Reloder 7 and 15 however.

I just bought same at 69.99 so they are ripping you off.

I just checked 8# is 509 so 63/lb. They don't ship.

I've started the switch to Vhitavouri powders from Alliant.

This particular shop always charges a premium, but they frequently have stuff others don't.
Consider me ripped off (again).

Yikes!

I read somewhere that ammo and powder is going to get worse ans scarce in the next year.
I just made a powder purchase instead of some more Hammers this month just to get me set, hopefully for many years.
Stock up now while you can.

I found this Saturday and it looks like a winner in the BEANMORE

I can stomach this pricein this day and age.

 

[Muddyboots]

Bean is just trolling us! Got a big one!

Makes you wonder how much places are up-charging from their distributor price. Who's inflating the prices, industry or retail store...

Heres the article I read that ammo, primers and powder prices will be increasing, with demand.

Ammo prices set to rise "substantially"

Vista Outdoor said it would increase prices due to unprecedented demand for and an anticipated global shortage of gunpowder.

www.newsweek.com

"TLDR": "Companies that will increase their prices include Remington, Alliant Powder, CCI, Federal, SEVI-Shot and Speer."

I still need to stock up on some more H4350 and Id like another brick of CCI LRPs. The good thing is Hammer is always stocked and as long as that lasts it gives some breathing room on getting other things first.

Whole sale price on the 15.5 is $60 lb so $88 seems a little high. IMR 8208 is $48 lb wholesale so $49.99 is cheap, prob go up quite a bit the next time its in stock.

IMR 4350 is on sale at powdervalley for $55.24 lb.
