Combine that with the fact that Hodgdon has sole distribution of that product, ie. a monopoly, and suddenly you have $80 a lb powder.

I’m glad I’m sitting on 3 - 8# bottles of it. It should last until I take my dirt nap. They were ~$300 each a few years ago. I’m betting we see $100 a lb for some powders like this and Retumbo next year.
