Price of Varget powder?

[Frank44]

I found a store that has a few pounds of Varget for $37 a pound. This is the only Varget that I can find locally. How fare out of line is this?

Ouch. That is discouraging. The last Varget I purchased was a little over a year ago for $24 and I thought that was high. I currently have 4 lbs on hand. I am trying to make it last.

I agree w CalCoyote. I payed around $24 less than a year ago. $37 is way high. Sometimes you can buy the 8 lb jugs at a cheaper price.

I just bought a few lbs last week and paid $24 a lb

If only we knew when/where Hodgdon was sending their shipments too, we could be waiting. $37 is extremely high, at that price I'd be looking for another powder to hold me over, or go without.

I bought a pound of Varget for $37. I was getting 2 1/2 groups at 300 yards with my 308. I went back to buy one more pound. They sold the other 4 pounds the day after I bought mine for $37 each. That makes it the new price for around here.

I bought an 8# jug last year for $179.00 have not seen any sense.

I paid $22.50 for a lb about two weeks ago at one of our local shops here in Iowa.

Buy it and get shooting .. Beats sitting on the couch ...

I have a pound that is about 4 years old that still has a price sticker on it for $22.95....Considering the gouging and scalping that has happened to prices lately, I would still consider $37 as unreasonable, especially when I found some W-748 within the last month at only $1 higher than I had been paying about the time I bought the Varget....

I bought a pound on Wednesday for $29.00 plus tax here in Kansas.

24.95 Evansville, Indiana. this past week.

 

[Death Dealer]

Its $25 a pound locally here in MS

The last I found and bought locally was $27.99/lb before tax. I haven't seen Varget in any of the shops I go to for about a year.

I know this sounds stupid but what's an extra $10 in the grand scheme at least you'll be out shooting I bought some from Natchez about a month ago or so and ouch I wish they would have kissed me first but I was completely out and that's what I needed so I guess they saw a sucker coming.

Here in Canada Cabelas.ca sells it for $33.99 and $229.99 for the 8Lbs jug.

Devildog:: have to agree ... This is the life ( sport ) we have chosen .. It sucks when we get gouged but the Yote, target we hit with the components that we have purchased regardless of the price tag IS priceless !!! Get it, Load it, Shoot it!!!!
