2400 nationwide price check

[rojo]

hi guys , I do not know how tough it is to get 2400 pistol powder nationwide ?? , buts it is tough here in NY , just wondering what the cost is nationwide for a pound ??
please post.
I was told at the last gun show that the reason I am having a problem buying 2400 here is because mecury is used in the productio and the government control mecury ??
not sure if this is true fell free to post , many thanks, rojp

All powders in my local south Texas gun shop seem to be running $30 a pound, and you take what you can get.

[tomme boy]

We have not seen any in 6 months. This is a 90 mile circle from me.

[KLR]

Son just picked up a pound for me in central Kentucky. $20

[Bonz]

Gander Mountain in Monroe NC has it for 29.99 per pound

[bhn22]

$18.00/lb at the gun shows. Unique & Bullseye is about the same. For some reason, my gun show guy can get it, but the big box stores can't.

[ashhoe]

Two pounds at Gander Mountain in South East Michigan, $29.95 a pound in early November. I was more than willing to pay it. Good stuff's hard to come by here.
And on the shelf right above it? Three boxes of 240gr 44 cal XTP bullets. I bought those, um, just in case someone else needed them. Yea, that's it. I probably wont load 'em, I'll just keep them in case you guys need them.

My post count will forever keep me a noob, I read too much and don't talk I guess.

hi guys , hhmmmmm , well I guess I did not do too bad ,considering, here in southern in the past 4 gun shows nobody had any, I bought the last 2 lbs the dealer had at the gun show for $35 a lbs.

[Larry Gibson]

Just checked a couple local stores this morning; powder, depending on species, running 24.95 - 35.95 a lb. Last 2 gunshows they ran 30+ a lb. Saw no 2400 for sale.

A buddy here just got an 8# keg for $215, I told him he over paid. FWIW, the mercury thing is BS.

[marvelshooter]

LGS has 2400 for $23 a pound.

[bhn22]

FWIW, the mercury thing is BS.

C'mon Fred, The guy who made that up was really proud of himself for figgerin' the situation out all by hisself.

When a shop has powder in stock it's $27-30/pound. It's pretty tough for any the shops to keep any powder on the shelves as it pretty much sells within a couple days of a shipment arriving and that could be a shipment of 1000#'s of powder.

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

Wow, I guess I got a deal :)
12/3/13 I got a pound for $20.65, should a bought both cans, but they have a 1 type of powder per day limit
But I paid 30 bucks for a pound of 3031 a few weeks ago

[waco]

I think the last lb I got was $24

[Jailer]

$20 IIRC. Last time I was at the place (Jays) they had a couple 8lb jugs of 2400 but I don't remember the price.

[jonas302]

$18 plus shipping and hazmat but I bought more than that so it evens out plus I have the powder and primers I need with out driving all over the state

[richbug]

$66 for a #4 on Friday at a local shotgun snob shop.

[dragon813gt]

$18 a pound and it's the easiest powder to get. Don't ask me why but it's always available at the LGSs and Cabelas usually has it as well.

[ShooterAZ]

$29.95 here, with spotty availability.

[olereb]

Havent seen any in forever here in FL,havent seen much of anything actually.

[Beagle333]

All my LGS has is a bunch of overpriced 777.

[jsheyn]

$31 /lb

[Stevtrains]

I just looked paid 131 for a 8# a few months ago at the buffalo gun center.

[CastingFool]

I bought 4 lbs of 2400 last summer, think I paid like $60. The gun shop didn't have 2400 in 8lb containers. Would have saved $20 over the cost of two 4lb containers. They didn't seem to lack anything. I also bought 2k primers, $35/K

[wvmedic]

$27.99/lb when I lucked into it.

[cdet69]

Where in New York are you. Last time a checked my regular supplier in Pleasant Valley had some. Was around $30.00 a pound.

[Shooternz]

You guy's are lucky you live in the good ole US I just bought 4# for $55.00 a pound and thought I got a great deal primers are $69.95K, I had to wait a year to get the 2400. Robert.

[btroj]

I bought 8 pounds last summer for 110 dollars. Got another 8 pounds last winter and paid 128 at the same store.

Can't say I look to much at powder these days, I have plenty on hand.

Ouch. I'll tell you Robert, if I ever left the USA, NZ is the only country I would consider. Beautiful country on both islands & you can shoot & hunt. Apparently the cost of shooting is quite a bit higher though, ouch.

Another member that lives a long ways from nowhere needs some 2400, so I have checked everywhere here that sells it twice weekly for the past couple of months. I usually check anyway if I am not busy, but black friday was the first 2400 to hit town in several months, and sportsmans had it for 23.99 a pound, when all other powders except unique are 29,99 up. They only had one pound, two days later they had it again, and I got the limit (2 pounds) came back and grabbed my wife, and they were sold out by the time I got back. lol

[gandydancer]

$20.89 at lgs got myself two pounds.

[pal82]

$19.99/lb 2400
$18.99/lb Unique
$17.99/lb Bullseye
Got one of each last month. The price is inversely proportional to the charge weight used. How about that.

[warf73]

Just picked up a lbs of Herco last Wednesday $19.99, and the 2400 was same price.

[quasi]

$138.00 for 8 lb. jug, bought 2.

[94Doug]

$135 for an 8# last week. Last one. They had a single one pounder at 23. I think I saw a list at a place about 40 miles from here showing it at least available.....it hadn't been for about 4 months.

[rintinglen]

24.99 at Lgs, 29.99 at the GunShow earlier this month. Spotty availability on the 1 pounders and no 4 lbs, or 8 lbs to be had.

[osteodoc08]

It seems to ebb and flow on pistol powders here lately. My LGS had quite a bit of 296/231 when I went by a few weeks ago. As of yesterday he only has rifle powders. Prices seem to hover around $30#

[Baron von Trollwhack]

It would appear that the same local pricing/gouging affecting 22 LRs is working well on powder. I know it is on primers.

My lgs is up to using baggies again to sell 50 rounds of LR to citizens.

Now if the goobermint demand for a hundred year supply of 40 S & W is the root cause of shortages WHY in "ell are so many kinds of powders, primers, and cases out of stock?

Looks as if shooters are being fed just enough to keep discontent below the boiling point.

BvT

[jonp]

$21.99 but tax-free at the lgs in New Hampshire when I went home in Oct. Had a whole shelf of it but I only bought 1 to give other guys a chance at it.

No lay away?

[Djones]

I bought two one pound canisters for $18.50 each a month ago. Central Indiana

My thoughts exactly. The price of powder has not gone up 50%. Which is what those paying $30 a pound are paying.

[Ohio Rusty]

I picked up the only bottle they had at gander Mtn. in Columbus for $23.95 two months back. Haven't seen any since.
I love 2400 ....... How do you spell 'MAGNUM'?? 2400, of course !!
Ohio Rusty ><>

[dragon813gt]

How do you spell 'MAGNUM'?? H110/W296, of course !!


Couldn't help myself ;)

[starmac]

2 pound a day period, and no they will not hold it for you, or anybody. I can see their point, but it sucks for those that only get to town 3 or 4 times a year or less. These people usually by what they need for a year when they come to town, and many of them actually depend on ammo for their living, so after the last few years I can see where they will start hurting, enough to trade gold for it, when they do come in. lol
