Just picked up a pound of Bullseye for $19. They seem to have everything in stock too, 2400, Rx16 etc. at the Spokane store.

Too bad we don’t have one in Louisiana.
CRUD, I stopped Tuesday and picked up a 8 pounder of Unq at the Kelso/Longview store.
Just may have to make a trip back down there Sunday.
They had gotten a powder shipment in on Monday.
Haven't bought any powder locally for a while but $20/lb ,AFTER the so-called "sale," for pistol powder is absurd.
Don't know why you would say absurd? It's the same price as Powder Valley and there is no hazmat or shipping. The last pound I bought of Bullseye was 10 years ago at the cheapest place in town and it was $20.
Sure I have cans of pistol powder that the price tag says $3.75, but they say Dupont and Hercules on them.
Also it looks like the sale is still on and good for a few more days.
I bought a pound of cfe blackout from vendor at the Tulsa gunshot last month for $20..... That is below wholesale price without shipping and hazmat (assuming largest quantity that is Shipp able ups) and 2yrs ago found bullseye and unique at $25 a pound on sale with no shipping...... That is excellent price right now.....
Here is the flyer. Looks like the sale goes till Christmas.

They appear to have a store in Louisiana.
Also an 8 lb jug would make it $16 a pound.
Guns Unlimited in Omaha says Hodgdon, Winchester, and IMR are going up 5% January 2nd.
You clearly haven't bought any powder in a while if you are shocked that $20 would be considered a deal.Quote:

Yikes!! I'm sure glad that I'm still shooting old stock. It's going to physically cause me pain to pay that price later, but for now I'm good.
Sportsman in Denver had 2400 @ $24.95/# about 2 hours ago.
Bass Pro's powder is still $40
Sportsmans Warehouse is the place that saved me when I needed to restock on Alliant powder a few years ago, they were the only store that had the line.
And despite arguing about price per pound, IMO smokeless powder is a bargain no matter what the list price is; the flexibility we get as handloaders really is a wonderful thing - I find price considerations secondary compared to that.
I won't stop reloading even if it DOES go to $40/lb.... but I can still complain about it. ;)
