wars in Ukraine and Gaza/Israel may have something to do with it

At lease LRP's, but at the same time why there so many SRP on the market, used in 5.56 ammo?

While I'm not denying a pending economic collapse in Canada, as a Canadian, what in the world are you talking about? They aren't giving every Canadian $2000 a month.

Agreed! Nobody told me!!! I want my money!!!

If your local or can pick it up, you can have it cheap.. 40 bucks

Ok Pa. Frank your username is a real teaser for me since I live in Pa. You should be Delaware Frank! lol

You'd better keep up on your news. Your Dictator is getting it passed.

Just one example of what is going on:
Eligible taxpayers can receive up to $1,5185 (for single individuals) for the 2023 tax year. Starting in July 2023 and based on the 2022 taxation year, the CWB will provide advance payments equal to 50% of the CWB across 3 payments under the Advanced Canada workers benefit (ACWB)

Someone's got to pay for that; guess who?

Anyone in western Pa area looking for 6.5 staball or cfe223? Not using them and would trade for something else. PM me with what you have.
Sorry for farther derailment but at least this post is about powder and not free money. By the way nothing is ever free!

The wars and FJ Biden!

That's only for people who don't make much money. Anything over about $30K and you don't get it. The D-bag is trying to get the low income voters since an election is creeping up.

I got two alerts from Powder Valley this weekend. It was for availability of 2 powders. I had put in an alert for RL16 and AR-Comp. The link they provided was for the 8# jugs, one of each, that I set in the alert for some time ago. I clicked each link and it automatically loaded them in the cart and put me on the website. Very convenient. I scrolled down, expecting a hefty bill, but not that hefty... almost $1,100.00 and Hazmat shipping wasn't added yet. When I came to, I checked for injuries from falling out of my chair, called the neighbors to let them know that the screams they heard were from the tv, clicked delete, delete, and wept for three hours. Ok... most of that is bs but the price sure wasn't.

I learned how to make decent black powder a few years ago. Decent enough to sub it in for GOEX in a pinch. At this rate it won't be long and all competition will be with muzzle loaders and flintlocks.

I know this is about powder and etc.. Everything is through the roof. I track some things I buy often. Since 2020 Dog soap +100%, Fire Starters +30%, and many others with nothing be less than 25 and most at least 50% price increase. Right or wrong at this point no question all sellers are absolutely taking advantage and pricing way above their costs. No, I dont believe inflation is what the gov. claims, yet no way are the costs still as high as they are. As said above when you eliminate multiple companies able to produce the same products, and narrow it down to one or two. Throughout history prices have instantly inflated the less competition there is.

It's always been about simple supply vs demand. For the life of me I can't understand why competition hasn't driven our prices down, but the past 10-20 years somethings changed and the pricing just keeps going up. THEY JUST WONT BUILD MORE PLANTS TO PUSH MORE OUT, ITS JUST THAT SIMPLE .

Apparently, they're adding 24k gold flake to the Varget these days....

Yep. But I think it is fool's gold, and Hogden is laughing at us poor fools that worked up a load with Varget!

People keep paying it, they'll keep charging top dollar.

I feel sorry for the guy that needs a couple boxes a year to take the kids hunting, but have zero sympathy for the mag dump crowd that continue exacerbating the problem.
