2 #s of 800-x and 2#s of Vihtavuori N-110. $15 a pound at a local gun show.
4# of Accurate LT-30 @ 19 each and 1# of Norma 200 @ $18. Not a big fan of either powder but I am a fan of the price and it will make perfectly acceptable plinkers for .223 and .308.
Picked up some more unique for my Swede and No 4 MkI.
24 pound's of Lovex D032-03. Am stocking up for the next "shortage". I plan to keep reloading and shooting while others are trying to find ammo. One "shortage" was all it to to learn that lesson.
Ordered a few pounds of 2400 as some new rule over here is going to stop the importation of some powders as they contain some soon to be banned chemical.
1 lb of Power Pistol, to load up some .38 SPC FBI loads.
47 pounds of assorted from PV, just on Unique, I saved $60 bucks a 8 pound jug..

Found an older fellow getting it of the hobby. Slowly. He's selling in drips and drabs.

A few pounds of 2400 now I'm OK for a couple of years for my 308/357/45-70 .
Ordered 4 lbs of 5744 @ $41/lb last week. Will be delivered tomorrow. Included a code that gave me free shipping and haz mat. Wish I could have swung an 8 pounder but that was a bit much. I've wanted to try 5744 for a long time, just could not bring myself to spend that much with haz mat. I guess if you are patient, you can finally get a deal.

Not really. It is more expensive than most smokeless powder. I could have paid less per pound from other suppliers but would probably have broken even after haz mat and shipping. I try to buy from Brownell's when I can and it isn't too much more. They have always treated me right. If I were going to buy powder or primers and pay hazmat, I would probably buy from Graf's. They are good too. If everyone starts charging sales tax for on-line sales, I will do more business with Mid South. Right now I have to pay almost 10% Tennessee sales tax to instate dealers.

I just checked Graf's powder and found that hazmat is only $10 per order. When did that change? I seem to remember that it was $30+ at one time. If I had known that, it might have changed who I ordered from.

Picked up an eight pounder of Green Dot for $118 and a five pounder of Trail Boss for $107 out the door. I can live with those prices. Not so happy with the $35.50 each for 3 bags of hard 9's but I needed them.
I would consider $35.50 for a bag of shot respectable as long as it is 25 lbs. I remember when I was buying it for less than $10 a bag. I have seen it as high as about $60 a bag.
At one with the gun.
