8 lbs of Benchmark. 3 lbs of E3. 1 lb of Ramshot Magnum. What is that powder on the bottom left in the Bobcatsteel jug? Looks like a Number 5 label below it.
At one with the gun.
I noticed the local Cabelas had 3- 8lb. Varget bottles in stock: $232 each!! Stopped at the local Reloadin' Supply store in town, and it was $195... barely had 1# left at home, so another 8lb jug came home with me...
Wife got me a #H4895 & # Bullseye for my birthday....application is cast #266469 in 6.5x55 and #358495 in .38 Special .
Gander Mountain is still lowering prices as they sell out. Red Dot was $14.99/lb and primers were $2.14/sleeve. I spend next week's lunch money and got 2# of Red Dot and 15 sleeves of Federal LP match primers. They still have lots of Green Dot and Winchester powders, but I don't shoot those. 'Broke now anyway.

I picked up a can of IMR Red to try out.

I "fell" into a decently priced 8 pound jug of AA1680 from an estate today. There were also three large cans of Winchester 296 too, but I held off on buying one of those ... for now ...
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
I bought an 8 lb'er at Camp Perry of both WW748 and Bullseye. Bullseye was $122.99 and the WW748 was $154.99.
Well, it might not be the most exotic or sought after powder, but I swear I got the ONLY pound of 2400 in the western United States yesterday at a Sportsman's Warehouse. The clerk checked the computer and it showed ONE container, which he had to rummage for in the stock room. He also mentioned that the others were sold out they day they were placed on the shelves.
Finally, I can start putting some cast rifle loads together again........!
1lb retumbo 8lbs leverevoloution its going to be a great fall this year
Just received 16 lb. of WC 872 from Pat's. I'm planning of first trying out out on 30-40 Krag with the 314299 sized .311.

Stopped at my local gunsmith this morning for a browse. He has quite the supply of NOS that people bring in to sell to him. Old guys going in nursing homes etc.
Today he had 14 1# cans of Hercules 2400 @ $14.50 each. 6 cans came home with me. He has lots of old leather, used brass and dies, huge selection of partial boxes of rifle and pistol J-word stuff. Pretty good prices. He's only open 3 days a week, the rest of his time is at his "real job".
Got 5 buckets of muffin tin ingots last summer for $80 total. It took 2 guys and a 2x4 board thru the bail handle to get in my truck. Have cast up one bucket so far, mostly using the Lee 6pak gang mold in 230TC for the 45ACP.

Given to me for selling things like powder and reloading tools for a friend. I love Varget but the Scandinavian powders are new to me.

1lb of Big Game, 2lbs of Trailboss. Yeehaw!
Buddy who is mostly into BPCR was cleaning out his cabinet and gave me a full pound of MR 2460 that's been there for quite a few years. I owe him for nice mold for my 4570 that he gave me this past summer too.
I need to get some more 2400. I just opened my last can of it, and I'm getting close to done in setting up in my new place. I'll go through this can quick...
