I scored a good deal on CFE223 and 800X this morning,I got 32pounds at$25.00for the cfe223 and 32pounds of 800X at$24.00 she also so has bullseye,unique and 2400 in her warehouse so I ordered 8 pounds of each to pick up first of the week. This is a little shop I kinda stumble across from a classified ads paper I never knew it was there. She has another 60,000 CCI primers due in Monday. I got 5000 large rifle and 5000 small pistol 23/1000.

Looks like you found the Lost Dutchmen mine.

Good pricing in todays money.

That's alot of supplies. Your on a list now.

Don't have time to read thru 8 pages right now.

Powder is not nails or hairspray. It is more like gasoline and there are repackaging/resale rules on gas for very good reasons.

A simple call to the mfg of the powder should get you the distributor's name.
Ask the Mfg if it's OK to repackage locally and let them fight the fight.

It's a bad trick to pull and the retailer should get dinged for it.

$30 a pound is pretty typical..however, I would never buy repackaged powder..I am even nervous buying opened powder from a friend..
My x brother- in- law said he forgot whether he had W748 or W 296 in the hopper one time..
I am thinking so what did you do,flip a coin??

Just a thought. Most if not all prescriptions are repackaged.

Yeah by a pharmacist or a tech..I don't 100% trust that either..I know what my drugs are and what the look like..
Anyone that would repackage powder is opening themselves up for a huge liability problem..

Exactly why I will not load ammo for someone else..besides my son or immediate family.
Likewise,I never shoot (most peoples) hand loads either..No atomic load in my guns..

He is not a crook. He obviously thinks he has 'tards for customers that will buy powder in a ziploc bag. If you do, you are.

We are still waiting for the first person to post a reference to the actual law that says this is illegal.

Read post 100 please.

This applies to commercial sellers whether they be wholesale or retail. They are Regs. and little else. Then we fall into state fire regs. which also are not "laws".

I get wound up tight too and go off sometimes, but having read the entirety of this thread just now (except for the multitude of posts from several who still reside with Frank), all I can say is WOW.

I have not used any cuss words or any disguised as such.

I only believe there is nothing wrong with what the retailer did in this case. And I will stick to that believe till I am shown laws, not regs., proving otherwise.

I see nothing wrong with the above.

[dtknowles]

I think the only thing the Retailer did wrong is tell the OP what he did.

Agreed, and I'm rather (unpleasantly) surprised by the number of members who want more nanny government overseeing virtually every move we make in our casting and reloading hobby.

I've known the guy who runs a LGS I frequent for over twenty years. If he showed me some ziploc bags of powder and told me they were Bullseye or W231 or whatever and nothing about the powder disagreed, and he told me the original keg had been damaged in transit or that he'd opened it to reload or whatever, I'd have exactly zero concern buying the powder from him.

If I was at some gunshow and saw someone I'd never dealt with before and did not know selling powder out of a ziploc bag, he couldn't give it to me.

Supply and demand. Risk and aversion. Opportunity and chance. Mandate and choice. If one doesn't want to purchase smokeless powder taken from eight-pound kegs and put into one-pound containers, just as there is no law that says you MUST purchase it, there should not be a law that says you can not purchase it that way.

as far as i know, the US has a capitalistic economy, not a socialist one.

whatever the market can bare.

that said i would not purchase because of safety reasons.
