    Around $28 for imr. Closer to $20 for unique. $25ish for faster pistol like titegroup. Started using promo for pistol. $125, including tax, for 8# at fleet farm.

    Depends on what store I go to. At my club its about 22 bucks not matter what name brand. At the sporting goods stores its around 35 to 40 bucks depending on name brand. At the gun shows i can get powders aroubd 24 to 26 dollars.

    At my club I can only buy 1 case of primers and 1 pound of primers per day. At the stores and gun show I can buy what ever i want.

    The Walmart near me is now stocking reloading supplies. Very limited but they said they are trying to expand it. The limited amount of powders were around $30. Can't remember what the primers were but it's a start.

    I don’t know. It’s been years since I bought any locally. Powder Valley is the barometer. Their prices have gone up a good bit. Use the Wayback Machine to see what they’ve been over the years. It goes back the early 2000s from what I remember.

    I was hoping that just as the price of loaded ammunition has gone down considerably, (nearly half in my area) reloading supplies would also. NOPE. Primers are still over 4 cents. And most powders are staying the same or going up.
    25 ish for Hodgdon. 22ish for the colored dots. Nothing under $20 anymore around me.

    Where I buy locally all Win primers are 31.99 per thousand. My most recent powder purchases were: CFE Pistol $22, CFE223: $21, Titegroup: $17, but its been several months since I last bought powder.

    I’m an hour away from Powder Valley so I’m spoiled. My LGS charges a few dollars more per pound to cover gas and time (he buys from powder valley as well). My last purchase was 8 pounds of 700x at $15 per pound if I remember correctly.

    There is a Sportsman’s Warehouse about fifteen minutes from my house. In the last two months I have paid $24.99 for a pound of Accurate No.2. and $32.99 for H4895. At 9% sales tax that comes out to $27.24 and $35.96.

    Last I checked H4895 was $26 at BiMart and every month or so they run $2 off

    The best place I've found to buy powder is local reloading forums. I just passed up $14 a brick for primers and 20 a pound for rifle powder because I didn't want to drive 60 miles to get it.

    From $22 for TiteGroup to $28 for IMR at Academy. I recently paid $36 at a LGS for IMR4198 and I felt ....dirty. But I needed it and had been looking for months! I have a big jug of Varget and one of Unique so I'm mainly burning up inherited powders. Black powder is a problem to get here. No one wants to carry it and if they have it it's expensive.

    turns out either me or the guy at the counter was dumb, I went back and got hodgdon blc2 and 335 for 29 dollars each, parently 4895 is 8 dollars more for some reason, also grabbed a trail boss at 18 dollars for the giggles.

    Was at Midwayusa.com today, looking at Starline 7.62x25 brass. As I really did not see me ever using up 500 of them.

    Just for kicks I looked to check powder prices. They had Red Dot 4 lb for 84$, and a button below letting me know that if I had a 150$ order they would take away the haz-mat. So I grabbed 2k of small pistol primers, CCI 500's at 33$ per thou and got it all coming this way. There was 16$ shipping, but scattered over powder, primers, brass, its still cheaper than I can find local, and easier. Shop from my recliner.

    Pays to look around sometimes and see what different outfits are doing.

    Gents, enjoy the freedom that you have! Here in Australia we are paying $AU68 for a 500gm tin of smokeless, $84 for a kg of black, $AU 65/1000 for primers. Ammunition is worse at about $AU2-3 per shot. Starline 38/55 long brass $AU170/100, even the humble old 45/70 brass is about $AU120/100

    There are a lot of reloading components that seem to have disappeared, 218 Bee brass, 25/35, 25/20 etc. I have to make 218 Mashburn Bee cases by necking down 32/20 brass.
