Was passing by so stopped at Simmons Sporting Goods in Bastrop LA. Limited to 2 lbs a person. They will not ship. And yes prices are high, but if you need it........

What was the powder prices like?
Last Fall I got some Varget there for $45/lb.
Any primers?

I have been loading for about 22 years now (not near as long as many of you), and I can't personally remember a time that I bought Retumbo, H1000 or any other powder of that nature for under about $20 a lb. In the last 5 I haven't seen it under about $32. Granted, 50-60 bucks is pretty steep, but at least it's starting to show up on shelves.

We can be grateful, hateful, upset or otherwise. Personally, I'm grateful it's at least available, and believe prices will start to drop some.

Wasn't too long ago, well 15 maybe years ago we would get 8 lb jugs of H-4350 for $130.00 to $140 so $16.25 to 17.50 per lb. When Obama got elected it went up to $189.00 and everyone was really upset.

Ya, I started reloading at about 10 years old (2000, I'm now 32) for my single shot H&R .223, I would use my allowance from chopping firewood, cutting grass, feeding the animals and such to buy my components......so needless to say, I only bought my powder 1 lb at a time for quite a while ha ha, it was around $20-$24 for 1 lbers, such as the ones in the original post. By the time I was out of college and could afford 8 lbers, it was post Obama.

To answer a few questions. Was there yesterday morning. No large rifle primers. I don't remember if they had small rifle. Had Federal GM pistol large and small, didn't check prices.
Prices for Reloader, well take the birth certificate of your first born because you will need it for a down payment, Reloader products $79

My! They are on the gouging list then!
I'm good with powder for a while in that case!

LGS here RL23 right now is $49.99 which is prob going rate these days from "reasonable" stores. I am "good" at this price in this environment. Still higher than we all want but WTHello can we do if we need to shoot.

This is the best powder selection I've seen at any one store in several years! Too bad I live 4.5hrs from them. Usually stop once a year on my through headed to deer hunt in Arkansas
