Went to a small local gun store that deals mainly in reloading supplies. Got a can of IMR 4350 for $25.99.
Stopped at another locally owned high volume store that carries very few reloading supplies. Their 1 lb IMR cans were $39.99 but their 8 lb jugs were within $10 or so of the other store. So in the 8 lb jugs that would be within a dollar or 2 a pound but $15 more a pound for the one pound jugs. They claim they had to pay more for the last powder they bought.
Anyway what are you paying for powder?

I was at Dunns and Graffs last Saturday. Prices had returned to normal and supply was good.

Primmers however.....that's still crazy!

I picked up 500 .224 Hornady 55 grn FMJBT at Graffs for $49

So things are looking up.......I talked to two gun dealers this past week and was tild that gun sakes have slowed to a crawl

I found myself in a pinch for Reloder 15 a couple weeks back, and Bass Pro Shops had some. Problem was, it was #29.99/lb. BEFORE state sales tax!!! That is almost 50% above what I am used to paying for powder.

I haven't bought any 8lb canisters lately but the 1lb cans have been anywhere from $22.99 to 26.99 depending on which local gun shop.

i bought 8# of IMR3031 & IMR4198 for $150 per jug this week. The store didn't have any RL-7 in 5# jugs so i bought some 1 pounders for $21 per lbs. and a pound of IMR7828 SSC was $22. Haven't seen RL-15 around here in a long while. I need 5# jug as i'm down to my last pound.

I recently started reloading and all the powders I've bought (AA #'s 7&9, Win 296) have been in the neighborhood of $25 a pound.

What were prices like before the scare?

Red Dot $22, most others $23-27 in the Minneapolis area. Gander Mountain has a new super gun store here. Saw that shot was $59.95 for 25 pounds ( have bought some in the mid $40 recently and thought that was high). I left without seeing what powder cost.

Sounds like $25 a pound is reasonable for today's prices. I was just glad to be able to find IMR 4350

Guys,
Two websites that have different powders on a fairly basis are www.3rdgss.com and www.powdervalleyinc.com
You have to keep checking but they seem to come up with a regular assortment of powders and some primers. And the pricing is very competitive. The last Powder I bought from them was Varget and I think it was about 193 for 8 lbs shipped. Its the hazmat charges that hurt.

Boy are you guys lucky. Only about 3 places in & around Fairtown for reloading supplies. It's easier to find chickens with teeth than it is to find reloading supplies. Then, again, we're at the end of the supply train & it seems like we only get the garbage the ret of the country doesn't want.

Powder has been off and on around eastern Kansas; the prices for Hodgdon and Alliant that I have seen run about $25-$29.

Now 22LR, that's what I can't find... Confused

Wish I could find any powder at reasonable prices-
only powder I see now is for very inflated prices on gunbroker.com.

Need Reloader 15 badly...

I was at a gun show in Columbia, TN and the prices for primers, brass, and powder were obscene. And most of the rifles for sale were junk.

Yes, I had a very similar experience at the Fort Worth gun show this last weekend. Lots of knife sharpeners, pickle juice and jerky salesmen and all the fake jewelry studded purses for your girlfriend. Only, one guy there selling dies, and very few quality guns...

Very typical of most of todays gun shows.

Cabelas in KC had some IMR powder for $22/lb, but I do not remember which kinds. I did pick up a brick of 22lr Remington for $21 as well. Happened to be there the day they got the shipment.
