Wish that was the case around here. It's been so long since I've seen one, I was beginning to think that they quit offering powder in 8# kegs .........

When this all settles down and it will... I'm buying all my powders in 8 pounders from now on.
I have been getting Hodgdon around central Texas for 160.00-170.00 for 8 lb's. Bought two CFE 223 about 2 months ago for 330.00 out the door. Since then I have seen better prices than that.
I know a place near San Antonio that a couple of weeks ago had at least 25-30 8 lb container's and about any flavor you wanted all priced in the 150.00 range except the Vihtavuori which they had quite a bit of but it was 190.00 range
Powder is essentially non-existant in Anchorage, and by extension, here.
Back in May I made a purchase from a fellow on GB for 29 pounds of various powders. It cost $40 to ship from Georgia to Seattle, then $295 to ship from there to the freight dock here. Took only 30 days from day it left Georgia.
I just made another order from same fellow to round out my supply. Should be good for the winter. It hurts, but I want to play, so I gots to pay.
Yeah... I meant the prices venatic saw were much better. I guess I took for granted that would be obvious.
Powder has been high since I started reloading so I guess I'm not as sensitive to it. When I see something I need I buy it, I don't buy any more than I have to but I don't go without it.
I wasnt excited about the price but if it is hitting the shelves the prices will get better.
My bad. I wasn't following the narrative in order. But you are right, if you need it what are you to do. But the gougers have a special place in hèll reserved I hope.
Powder here at the local store is pretty good.H4895,H4350,H4831 and H4831sc, IMR 4350 and 4064,H322,H335. All in 8lb. kegs. I picked up an 8# keg of H4895 for $175 out the door.

Too bad your not closer to WV. The store I go to has a couple more 8lb. kegs of H4895.
We just came thru there sight seeing coming back from Richmond Virginia. I couldn't get my 22 250 to shoot varget good I went with RL15. I have a unopened 8 pd keg of varget and some 1 pd can too.
