I just bought 3#'s of RL22 from my dealer for $222 and change. Now $70 a pound?????? That will load me 300+ rounds for my 25-06 which will last me the rest of my years as I am 78 soon.

Picked up an 8 pounder of the new Perfect Pattern for $243, with tax. I've never used it before, I'll find out how well it works, probably next year, I have loaded shotgun ammo and probably 10 pounds of other 12 gauge shotgun powder to last me into next year.
Sub gauge powders to last for multiple years, Unique, 2400, 296, 4227.
They had Green Dot @ $49.50/lb, but you had to buy 2 pounds. I like Green Dot, just not $50 worth of like.
At 68 approaching a life time supply.
Pretty sure there's enough rifle powder.
Didn’t buy any, but a friend gave me Swedish wooden bullet blank powder for me reloading a 1000 rounds of 6.5x55 jacketed ammo for him using his components. Same lot of blank powder as I’m already using for my 6.5x55 and 45/70 cast bullet loads and 45 Colt plated bullet loads. Don’t know how much, but it’s pounds of the stuff. I didn’t ask for anything, he just gave it to me.
HP-38 and TiteGroup for my 32-20……Been using 231 but hard to find.
I stumbled onto 4 sealed 1 lb cans of Herco for $40 each, so I jumped on it.
I plan on using it for midrange mag carbine loads (.357, .44 and .454 Casull), as well as low velocity cast loads in .30-06 and .257 Roberts.
In over 20 years of reloading I've never messed with Herco, but I'm about to run out of Unique, so from what I've seen Herco can do the same for me where I used Unique in the past.
Picked up a pound of H380 for loading j-words in .30-06.
I've been using IMR4350 but refuse to pay $75 a pound for it.
When I first started reloading I used H380 and remember liking it. In fact my first few deer with handloads were with it. So I know it works.

I picked up 2 full bottles of H380 at an estate sale on Saturday. 5.00 per bottle. I've never used it, but at that price I figured I could find a use for it.
If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.
