That is not the new standard price if we stop paying crazy prices. I just bought an 8lb jug of H1000 at a local store that just received it and paid $285. Hodgdon is not charging wholesalers crazy prices it is just stores choosing to put profits over customers. Sportsman’s Warehouse has always...
Remington 6 1/2 primers are small rifle primers and will be fine. Remington 7 1/2 are small rifle Bench rest primers. No difference, just are suppose to be held to tighter specs.
