Has anyone found a "go to" place for the best price on Varget? I'd like to get 4 or 8 lb container for the best deal. Local gun show has been empty twice in a row for Varget. Any leads?

Price seems irrelevant. I've been watching eight online sellers since October. Nobody will admit to having it in stock. Did score two 1 pounders at a gun show two weeks ago. 1/4 of what I want for the year. But that was all he had, he said. Bless him, he did not charge me the famine rate for it.

I just bought 3 pound of it today for 26.97$ a pound. There are places that have it online, but you have to do some digging. I just looked to see if I could send you the link where I got mine, and sorry to say they sold out.

The best price on Varget right now is when you see it in stock. Pay the man.

I just heard last weekend there is someplace in Los Angeles that has alot of it in stock, but they want $240 for an 8 pound jug. At that price I'm waiting...

I am not sure why you would go to a gun show for powder. I have found that the people at gun shows jack up their prices on most everything. Though I guess in this day and age we have to take what we can get. Here is what I would go to a local shooting range, gun shop, which every sells reloading supplies and befriend the owner. Ask him to give you a call when he knows he will be getting a shipment of powder X. It also pays to befriend shooting range owners, especially if you reload/cast bullets. Great source for lead and brass and if you are like me you get to shoot for free as well as free targets.

You might as well buy it. If I find any 8lb jugs of Retumbo for $230 or below then I am buying them. I'd rather gripe about paying too much (subjective) then gripe about not having the powder.

Outdoor Junction in Crossville, TN had some Friday. Several 1 lb cases at $24.99/lb. They also HAD some 4759. It somehow came home with me.

Picked up two lbs of it a few days ago. Don't know how long it will last with me loading 42gr per shot.

Check every local fun store. You may be surprised what you find. There is no shortage here 8lbs. 153$+tax. Sometimes a hole in the wall non big box will treat you right.

At 230$ I'd pass, switch powders, or otherwise make due.

Did the "Canister and Surplus Powder" section close down?

Nope. Still there.

Rifle powders aren't as hard in my area to find as pistol/shotgun powders. You'd almost get into fist fights over them some days.

Just curious, where are you located? I could spare a couple pounds if your in PA.

Its out there. A friend of mine uses it, I said something about a place having some he wanted me to clean them out. Just like 22lr part of the problem, somebody sees it they want it all, just in case. The place I stopped had several lbs on the shelf, and 2 cases under. My friend only had money for 2 plus 2lbs of Retumbo. Guy at the counter said they cant keep it in. Another reloading place had it but a 1lbs per customer limit. Probably why they had some.
