Where to get surplus powder
Where can I get some surplus powder? How much does it cost?
lead, see sticky above. It's a lot more than it used to be, to the point of not making sense anymore...Ray

I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.
+1 to what Ray said.
The glory days of surplus powder, are unfortunately over.
Surplus used to be about half of what canister powder was, and vendors, had a large selection of what seemed like an endless supply. I spent a good deal of money over the years with Pats Reloading and especially Jeff Bartlett. This was for surplus powder and pull down military bullets.
Surplus and/or pull-down powder is almost the same price as commercial canister grade.
It was one thing when it was half the price or ever a little more. For $20 more on an 8 lb. keg, I went with commercial powder.

Leadchucker check out www.gibrass.com and google Hi-Tech ammo....prices just arn't attractive as they once were!!!
I'll echo what the others have said, your best bet is to get a few other shooter friends to go on an order so as to split the Shipping AND Has Mat charges.
From my research your best prices are at Powder Valley

Plus 1 to GIbrass.com...that's Jeff Bartlett...a good guy to do business with. Rodfac
Nothing at all negative towards Jeff, as he is a stand up guy and I have purchased powder from him for years, but his supply isn't what it one was.Originally Posted by bradh
Powder Valley http://powdervalleyinc.com/ has new commercial canister 4895 for $134. $9 more. For that small difference and even more, I go with commercial canister powder.
