Picked up Titewad powder today, $24.99
i bought a 4lb jug of Alliant sport pistol today for 110.95 plus tax.
Picked up an 8 pounder of H-380 for a buddy. $200.00.
Could have bought 2 but I've already got 15+ pounds myself and I don't shoot that much H-380. May have to find some more loads for it. I got the powder for free several years ago.
Time to reduce inventory the fun way
I just got an 8# keg of IMR 3031 for 290.00 out the door which works out to 36.25 per pound so I'm happy.
2 pounds each of Bullseye, Unique, and 2400. $180 from an individual. I’m old school, and these are all powders I use.
Graf & Sons had an OK selection last night.

Made a phone call Fri. afternoon to one of the shops that sells supplies, it's 45 miles away.
They said they had some IMR 4350, and I've been looking since last Fall, I was cool.
Knowing I've got to go about 2/3rds of the way Sat., so left early and went down there before my other engagements.
Scored 2 lbs. at $43 t tax, and to my surprise they had pistol primers, $89.50 per k.
So I bought a 1000 ea. spp & lpp.
They had some Match rifle but I don't use them.

Needed to pick up the next year's worth of targets from CMP for a vintage military rifle match I run, so I waited until the National Matches started. Went to Camp Perry this morning and trolled Commercial Row, found Winchester 296 in 1 pounders marked $38.
I took a picture and texted it to some of the buddies, had 2 takers, a pound for one two the other.
When I went to pay, he charged me $34+ the governor's share. What a deal.
Only goofy thing about this week, I spent almost $450 on reloading "stuff" this week.
$3.03 of it was stuff for me.
What's wrong with this picture?
Spent a Grand on my birthday splurge, came home with 62 lbs assorted and 13k primers LP & LRM.
Some kinda deal, I'd say.

8lb Win 452AA & 4.5lb ADI Ap50.
Both good fast burners. Also got 6.5k large pistol primers in a nicely priced deal from an estate sale.

Hi...
Got an 8# jug of Unique today at a local gun shop for $217.25 out the door.
They had 8# jugs of several Alliant powders at the same price plus a large number of 1# bottles at $34.95 each.
Another shop also had a large amount of Alliant powders in 8# and 1# containers but rhe cost was $309 and $37.99 respectively.
Anybody make it down to Sparta?
I'm curious how many and how much shotgun reloading supplies were available. Back when the Grand was shot @ Vandalia, that was the place to stock up for the year on shotgun reloading supplies.
Haven't been to the Grand since they moved to Illinois.
1lb each of Autocomp @$33.50 and CFE Pistol @$37.50 limit 2 of each type no matter size. No experience with either.
Primers $8.50/100 limit 3 of each type but if you bought something else they let you have 5 or 6 as with the powder to stop speculators or hoarders. LGS had small selection of powders but would cover about to anything I think. Several kegs of Bullseye for $246, autocomp, longshot, enforcer, H335, Accurate 7 & 9, several rifle and pistol powders. Pleasantly surprised as the prices were higher than a few years ago but not out of whack. If i used Bullseye id have bought a keg at that price but im sitting on several pounds now i dont use

American Reloading has pulldown pistol powder. About 19.50 a pound shipped with discount code. I bought .45 powder #5 and 9mm powder #15. It looks like good spherical powder. I loaded some up and it shot as advertised. No soot and ejection pattern was good. I did not chronograph it. I bought another 12 Lbs.
