What Powder Did You Buy Today?

[Trapperjack718]

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.

I'm old school. I just bought some Unique!

Lucky for you HP-38 and W231 are the same powder.

Local shop had Win244 for $30/lb after tax. I'm bringing three pounds home

[Jellyroll]

I got 10 pounds of a powder that American Reloading says is "similar" to Unique. Ends up at $26/ lb shipped and thats hard to beat.

Lucky Dog! That's a GREAT BUY! Really like it in my .38 Specials, hc18flyer

Just looked a American Reloading and all powder is listed as out of stock

[avogunner]

One of my gun club buddies (doesn't reload) told me his neighbor was selling off all of his "stuff". Dropped by his house yesterday and for $300 picked up a full 8lb keg of Alliant Promo, 4lb containers of Red Dot and Green Dot, and about 3k wads. He had about 6K CCI SPP but I ran out of cash.

"What-Powder-Did-You-Buy-Today"

Does wishing I bought powder today, count? There is very little on the shelves here and none that I am looking for. Namely, Varget and Herco.

I bought 5 lbs. of Swiss 1F for a Winchester 1886 in 45-90 from Buffalo Arms they sent 5 lbs of Schuetzen 1 F instead. I called them and they said they would mail a return tag. A day later I get a Fed Ex notification that B/A has sent me a package weighing 6 lbs. I’m thinking that’s a bit heavy for a return label, a few days later I get the package and it’s my original order for Swiss 1F. I give them a call and they apologize for not calling me to tell me they cannot accept returns on black powder to keep the Schuetzen 1F. They lost about $185.00 on that sale, good people and great Company.

About 30 minutes before a gun show closed up today, I got 14 single cavity Ideal molds and 8 lbs of Green Dot in current packaging for $400. I am one happy camper. I can sell those molds for more than the price of the powder. Nothing like free Green Dot.

[AK Islander]

Picked up 4# of Accurate 1680, for loading 7.62x39 and subsonic 300BLK. Price was high, $50/lb but I don’t think it’s going to get any less expensive in the coming years. Good thing I’ll be running it mostly through bolt guns, it might last a little longer that way.

You lucky dog! I’ve been looking for Green Dot for years!!!

Absolutely agree! Buffalo Arms has about the best customer service I've ever come across in any company.
