    Another price jump at local sporting goods store!

    I was in last week to check for pistol powders(nothing), they had some 8lbs IMR powders for $199.99. Stopped in today there $219.99! I guess its time to get out the bolt guns and using up the 42lbs of WC860 sitting around.

    Kills me how you can buy powder at Powdervalleyinc.com, pay hazmed and shipping and still be cheaper. Question is do you want to wait till they have it? I hope this stuff settles down soon.

    As long as Dems run this country, powder will be scarce!

    Remember that when you vote in 2014 and 2016!

    Same price here for a jug of IMR4350. At least they have some, that's a change.

    LGS got in about 100+ lbs last week, IMR and Hogdon rifle 1lbs mostly ..$28/lb

    Has a couple 8's of superformance, $169 if I recall. I've never tried it, so I don't want to buy 8lbs on the chance my rifle will like it.

    At least some powder is starting to show up.

    I glade some of you are find powder but here in Colorado the supply is very thin. I was talking to a shop owner and he told me that supplies from his supplier were spotty at best.
