Has anyone seen the price of powders at this place?

[stanford]

They have everything in stock that no one else has but their prices are utterly ridiculous. I am pretty sure that at those prices they will never run out of anything.

[Black Powder Bill]

Looks like they are at msrp.

[stanford]

Looks like the containers that are close to expiring are on sale.

[tomon]

I saw those prices at the Harrisburg Gun show last month. The only one cheaper was saying you had to buy other components from them to help them above the break even point.

[GRUMPA]

That's right around normal for the LGS around here...

[Snyd]

I wish all that "high priced" powder was sitting on a store shelf for sale here in Fairbanks. They are still bare here.

[Geezer in NH]

I will pass

[Taylor]

I will pass


me too

[blaser.306]

Those "high prices" are looking like the new normal here! Looked to one of the usual online suppliers in western Canada and noticed he had H110 in stock? Last fall's price before tax was $26.00 the "new stock" price is $46.00. Guess it comes down to do you want to shoot them or just look at them. I suppose eventually they will make some awfully fancy paperweights!

[funnyjim014]

Just bought hp38 for 28.99 plus tax (8.75%). Hey its a bargain 231 was 29.99

[mac60]

That's right around normal for the LGS around here...

Around here too!

[osteodoc08]

Powder is running $26-33 in 1# containers. VV powders $42-46 but never used any. These are local prices.

Yeah, Henry used to live up to his name, but not anymore. That's why he always has so much powder still in stock. I woould give my left nut for 8lb of Longshot for $204!

Can you buy powder from US distributors or do you have to buy from Canadian ones. Here is a link down here for Longshot. They have had it for a while.

[Echd]

Looks just like local prices here. I wait for gun shows to get stuff around 20-24 a lb... just ran out of h110 and I haven't seen 2400 in over 2 years...

[Cariboo]

I seen $50.00-$52.00 per lb +12% tax last week, which makes those prices look good even with the horrific exchange rate at present factored in

[Cariboo]

ho sur put the boots to us buying scopes, ammo & components

[starmac]

Well you can always come to Ak, most of those powders are no more than 2 to 3 dollars a pound more than what we been paying (when available) since Ohummer and Hillary started fussing over who got to stay in the whitehouse. Their unique prises was way out of line even for here though, but then again, it has probably been 2 years or more since I have even seen any.

[Jungle867]

H110 W296 in stock, tempting.

[dsh1106]

Those are pretty close to what things are where I'm at. You might find thing $2-$4 cheaper at a gun show, but you'd better be there when the doors open.

[jonas302]

When is the last time you bought powder? And why is this in the selling and swapping forum?

[Bonz]

When I need it, I buy from the cheapest source. Those prices are the same as the LGS by me, but of course I drive there, pay taxes but save the hazmat/shipping fees.

[dogmower]

prices here in Tucson are bad, but not that bad. depends on what you need and how bad you need it. I met some dude at the range the other day who told me he paid $120 for two pounds of reloader 33 (included the hazmat). I told him he was crazy, but if you need it, you need it, I guess.

[Uncle Jimbo]

That's right around normal for the LGS around here...
Same here, when you can find them. Which is not often.

[bedbugbilly]

Their price on a pound of Bulls Eye is about $12 more than what I paid at the LGS this past summer (August). Yea, I know . . . a lot of folks wished their LGS had it on the shelf but if the LGS was asking what this place is, they'd get a whole lot of "b _ _ ching" from their "regulars". It may be MSRP but it also reminds me of the 22 ammo gouging. Just my 2 cents worth though which isn't worth a plug nickel . . . LOL

[scattershot]

As others have said, those prices are becoming the new normal. I still have a can of 4756 with a price tag on it of $3.00. Makes me sad to look at it.

The empty can is probably worth more than that now.

[stanford]

When is the last time you bought powder? And why is this in the selling and swapping forum?

I buy powder all the time, those prices are just ridiculous. I posted here so others could see what's there and maybe if someone had the cash they would purchase what they needed.

[257]

powder around here is showing up but most of it is running 28.00 to 31.00 per pound. and some of the stuff is less but 12 oz instead of 16 oz. but on a better note primers have come down about 4.50 per 1000

[toot]

bout the same in RHODE ISLAND, no such thing as $15.00 a # any more ! get used to it. if you want to shoot some one has to pay the fiddler! lol!!

[w5pv]

Get a buddy to go in with you and split the haz mat.Most venders will ship differnt haz mat items under one haz mat fee.

[ShootNSteel]

Those prices are awful compared to LGS here, I am buying 231 and Unique in 8lb kegs for under $140 before tax.

[Uncle Jimbo]

Several members have posted at least 3 times when BassPro.com had Unique for sale. Most of us took advantage of the free shipping/no hazmat fee to the BassPro store of our choice

[HeadLead]

I purchased 1# of Herco and 1# of Blue Dot and put these together with 1000 berdan (7.62x39) primers. With shipping and has mat it was pricey but I now have 3 items I could not get locally for some time.

Used an online supplier - lohmanarms.com

They have 1, 4 and 8 pounders available on lots of powder.

[Old Coot]

The prices listed (for a single pound of powder) are within a dollar or two of what we pay here in Flagstaff less hazmat and shipping. Of course any time you buy anything from a store or shop you are paying those fees (hazmatt and shipping) it is a cost of doing business.

I find it facinating that the people who gripe the most about prices are the ones who price their own products and or services the highest. I learned a long time ago that if you find someone who worries constantly about being taken or cheated be careful, they are the person most likely to try to cheat you.

I really need some True Blue for my 5x7 but I really don't want to pay over #493.00 for the 13# they have. I will wait for the 800-X to appear on other sites where its like $17?.?? for 8#

Have you tried blue dot. I've had good success with that in the pistol

[Defcon-One]

That site will only let you buy one pound of any powder for $30-40 ea.. Then they add $43.00 for shipping!

The prices aren't the issue, it is the fact that you can'y buy in volume to offset the Shipping/Hazmat fees.

What a ripoff.

You are right. But there are no BassPro Shops in the state, so this leaves me out on these buys. :(

[FLYCUTTER]

Its good business for the powder companies to keep the supply short and the demand high. I wish they would quit making these new expensive powders and just give us consumers what we want.(bullseye, unique, red dot, blue dot etc.)

[dragon813gt]

No, it's not good business to do that. They want to sell as much product as possible. High demand is a good thing. Short supply hurts their profit. You can thank environmental regulations for the higher price of newer powders. But at the same time you can thank the retailers for the higher prices in general. The wholesale cost hasn't increased that much.

[khmer6]

Basspro does free shipping and hazmat to store!??!!??! Unfortunately their prices are quite a bit higher but I'll have to dig around tho! Definitely not hurting for powder but every bit helps me and friends

[RogerDat]

The hazmat fee is not such a big factor if you can buy enough to spread it around. Problem is if you want a popular powder you have to complete the purchase before that powder sells out. Leaving no time to put a more comprehensive order together. Assuming that the store had another powder you needed in the sparse stock available. If one purchases 4# the hazmat adds $7 a lb. to the price. If there where 2 or 3 powders available that drops the hazmat down to $4.50 a lb. which is not so bad.

Good luck finding 2 or 3 powders that are desirable and stay in stock long enough for you to order.

[hollywood63]

Wow I'll count my blessing CFE Pistol and Unique 21 a pound CCI sp primers 30/1000 no ******** here

[Schrag4]

Some of those prices are almost double, but then again some of them are not. Yeah, they're high-priced, but powder is the cheapest component anyway, so even doubling the price doesn't impact the total loaded cartridge cost that much. If I was hurting for powder, I might buy from this site. They seem to have A LOT of in-stock powders that I'm not seeing anywhere else. I, too, will pass, but this might be a god-send for someone who's just getting into reloading. I certainly won't bad-mouth them.

[Black Powder Bill]

shameless plug: I'm pushing expansion industries etr7 @ $20.00 pound plus tax. I also have an 8 pounder of 700x looking for a home @ $165.00. I'll use the ETR7, a new powder doesn't scare me off.

So if ur in my area give me a call

[TXGunNut]

New one on me, too. Cabelas charges the haz-mat fee for ISP. I've bought a fair bit of powder in the last year or so for $27-30, sure hope this isn't the new norm but we'll see. If folks like me keep buying at this level it will be, I guess.

[sig2009]

Guy at Oaks show in PA last week was trying to sell 1 lb. containers for $36.99! Keep it!!!!!!!!!!!

Not like King Shooter's isn't close to that. Not complaining because I buy from them all the time. But a lot of the powders are pushing $30 a pound.

[HeadLead]

Heads up for all! I posted earlier about a great deal at Lohmanarms.com, however I just called to check on order and everything I ordered is on back-order. They claim that was disclosed at the time of checkout,but it ain't so as far as I recall. I just cancelled entire order.

I apologize for the bad advice.

Back in December BassPro had their powder at $24.99/lb. I bought 8 lb of Bullseye at that price and had it shipped to a local store. No hazmat and no shipping, just sales tax.
They sold out very quickly even though they had a lot of it. I think it took them 2 days to sell out. This last shipment they got in is much higher priced.
I guess I got lucky with the timing on my purchase.

Not surprised at all. I have a question for you. Did you check the stock status of any other items on their site? Guaranteed anything you want is in stock. Including really unobtainable items such as 35 Remington and 356 Winchester brass. They have everything in stock. Did this not raise some alarms?

[jonp]

I checked this place out last year and laughed at the prices. The fact that they are still in business tells me someone is buying. I still go there once in a while and I still laugh.

I was in a Bass Pro near me last month and they had Unique and Bullseye on the shelf. I bought one pound of each and 100 22rds

[Edward]

I wish my supplier had 2015 , the only powder that works in my 6x45 I would pay that in a heart beat but the shipping kills it !

[stanford]

Have you tried blue dot. I've had good success with that in the pistol

I had not tried blue dot, everything seems to hard to find. I recently got some 800-x from selway, looks like they still have 50# left. After I bought it I ended up reading that the 800-x is really hard to meter as the flakes are big. I guess I will find out.

Are you serious? I didn't try buying anything from them since their prices seem really high compared to other places. That would definitely be a ripoff if they only allow one canister at a time.

[stanford]

Looks like a few items went down in price. I tried adding a few canisters to my cart just to check out what Defcon said and even though I added 5 to the cart it responds back and says 1 added to cart. No wonder they have all those items in stock.

[salpal48]

The price of powder is here to stay. They is only a shortage of Old price Powder. . There will be plenty of new price powder. . they have learned from the Gas companies. . Everyone is learning to gouge
Same with the Myth of . Has-mat Training. . all they do is Put it in abox and mail.. BUlLL BULL, and More BULL. I no long buy online.

[dougader]

I thought I'd seen everything until I saw AA5744 for $200 keg at Powder Valley.

[stanford]

I use gunbot a lot to track changes on websites, but I also noticed that on some websites it does not parse or it does not parse correctly. I am already working on my own parser to track the changes on some of these popular sites. Hopefully I will get it done someday.

[lolbell]

I wonder are these folks selling anything. 2 weeks ago I bought 2- 8# jugs of Unique at a LGS here in Alabama for $159.99 each. I thought that was high, but that is exactly $120 per jug cheaper than this place. Things may be higher than pre panic but nowhere near this.

Surely they jest !!! I had to go back and look again to make sure my eyes didn't deceive me the first 3 times I looked at this

[Shiloh]

Yikes!!

Shiloh

[Elkins45]

I saw some 2400 at a gunshow today for the first time in two years. A vendor had five one-pound bottles. They were $34.99 each, easily the most expensive powder on the table.

I left them there. At those prices someone more desperate than I needs them.

[stanford]

Just an update, you can add more that one item to your cart to offset the hazmat charge. The website displays one item added to cart, but when you look in your cart you will see how ever many items you ordered.

[Oleman]

Locally I'm finding most powder for $24 a pound. I've had to wait to get some of the more popular powders. Jugs I'm finding in the $160 to $170 range if they want more than that I'll let the keep it until its aged for them. I'm stocking up when I find my more popular powders. The gougers I just laugh at and move on.

[Guncrank]

They have everything in stock that no one else has but their prices are utterly ridiculous. I am pretty sure that at those prices they will never run out of anything.

Stanford,

Thank you for the link to Reloading Unlimited! I just yesterday picked up an 8 lb jug of TiteGroup and was feeling a little guilty about paying just a taste over $21 per pound for it. I now know that had I purchased the same 8 lbs from R.U. they would have gouged me, inclusive of shipping and the much hated Haz-Mat tax just shy of $32 per pound! I saved enough to buy a thousand of my favorite 38 special plinker boolets!!! :wink:

[762 shooter]

Just a reality math check.

Unique cost in the not so far past.....$118/8#.
5600- 10 grain loads at....................$0.021/round.

Unique cost + hazmat.......................$300/8#
5600-10 grain loads at......................$0.053 round

Primer @ $0.030/round.
Bullet @ $0.20/round.

308 PMC 147 FMJ shipped @ $0.72/round.

Powder is a trivial cost at any price.

762

[Handloader109]

It may be trivial, but my pocketbook says it is gouging and won't open for fools like that. And unless this store was located on a tropical island where you can't get delivery, he and anyone like him can keep it. Let it age for a year or two.

[brstevns]

Cousin just paid 30.00 a lb for IMR 4198 at our local gun shop and 35.00 for a 1000 Large Rifle primers.

[30calflash]

Seems to be within a couple bucks per pound price as the LGS. A couple better, a few worse. He has more than I've seen in a while.

It's the new normal, just like $15 a brick 22 ammo is no longer there. Gotta get used to it.

Shipping and insurance charges to folks selling product has gone up. When black powder required a big change in storage regs it became extinct around here. I think only 2 places carried it in the state.

[LeftyDon]

Yeah, Henry used to live up to his name, but not anymore. That's why he always has so much powder still in stock. I woould give my left nut for 8lb of Longshot for $204!

Ballistic Products 1lb = $23.79 or 8 x 1lbs = $190.32

[irishtoo]

wow, just wow!!!! i bought a 8lb jug of unique about 3 months ago at a lgs for 120 bucks. one of the big reasons to reload is cost savings. less money....more shooting. at those prices does that still apply?

[Tackleberry41]

The prices at this place aren't really much different than what I am seeing on shelves. Managed to find some power pistol over the weekend, $29.99 a lbs. Place around the corner most of what they have is selling right at the edge of $30/lbs. Couple more and they have it in stock, I bought some 2400 not long ago, first have seen in a while. Havent seen any H110. The price of everything else is up, so why not powder?

[Le Loup Solitaire]

My latest current catalog from Midsouth Shooters Supply has powders from all major manufacturers at reasonable prices. But you have to pony up the hazmat fee; going in on a powder deal with someone would soften that up. Same for primers. LLS

[khmer6]

wow, just wow!!!! i bought a 8lb jug of unique about 3 months ago at a lgs for 120 bucks. one of the big reasons to reload is cost savings. less money....more shooting. at those prices does that still apply?
I thought the same. But when you really crunch the numbers. Even 200 for 8# unique the cost per round is very,minimal

[birddog]

Sorry boys that's gouging and I ain't paying to play!!
Charlie

[andremajic]

You guys realize that we've been having inflation sneak up on us this last decade, right?

You can't print trillions of dollars and not devalue the money in circulation! If the price is a "little" high, not ridiculous, buy it and go shooting. Some commodities adjust to inflation at a much faster clip than others. Anything you use in your life is a commodity, whether it be frozen OJ, pork, or gunpowder!

It's not going to go down in price to what it was 5 or 10 years ago.

Might be a good idea to start looking ahead to the future and start stocking other things you see yourself using in the next decade or so while the current prices are low.

Andy

[Case Stuffer]

8 # ofHS-335 there is $30 less than local but then I do not have to pay Haz Mat or shipping so local is really less expensive, HS-6 is higher than local.

What goes up , must come down does not really apply to gun powder.primers or .22 Ammo. Anyone remember the Cliton years and now his wife wants a turn at our guns and the nation's economy?

[KCcactus]

It's the law of supply and demand. If no one buys at those prices, eventually they lower prices or go out of business. High demand means they can get high prices. I'm not that desperate. I went into a LGS a few weeks back. They had a few 1lb rifle powders in stock for $35-40. I haven't been back.

If you are willing to wait, you can get better prices. I got lucky and caught Brownells with Unique in stock two weeks ago and bought some for $19/lb. It must have gone really fast. I ordered 5 lbs, but they are only shipping 3. The other powders I bought were $24 and $25/lb. Winchester primers were $30/K. Most on-line places let you sign up for e-mails telling you when an out-of-stock item arrives.

[tiger762]

What I don't understand is when some take it personally. Apparently one place has powder that others want. Either buy it or don't. There is no room for whining. As soon as I read terms like "gouging" and "scalping" I'm done reading that person's thesis. He or she is a fool, AFAIC. Now if the guy with the powder forced customers at gun point to buy it, OK, now THAT is illegal.

I think "gun guys" are so used to buying stuff a lot cheaper than it should be, because it's liquidated by a government that originally created the materiel using slave labor and/or purchased with money raised by gross taxation. Well, the cheap stuff dried up. Whoda thunk?

I just get so tired of the belly-aching.

Has anyone purchased from them ??

[tiger762]

Yeah, I suppose. People want stuff cheap, to then put on GunBroker to give the bone to someone else. I've got craploads of 22. Used to buy a few bricks a week from WalMart when they were $8.47 for the 550rd Remington Golden Bullet. I've thought about selling some off, but if I give person X a good deal, he'll just sell to person Y at the same price that the "gougers" are selling at.

Not going to contribute to the madness, so not selling a dog-gone thing :D

Or donate to the scouts? I heard a while back they had to stop some programs because of supply. I never really bought 22 otherwise I would of had a cache to give to the local kids.
