Been looking for 231, Powder Valley has had 1 pounders continuously in stock for quite a while but like y'all, I wasn't going to pay $20 hazmat for two or three pounds of powder. They've also had Starline .38 Special brass continuously in stock during all that time, but just wasn't worth it for the 300 cases I wanted.
Saw the other day that they had 8 pound jugs of Ramshot TAC in stock and that tripped the trigger. Got one jug of TAC, two pounds of 231 (which will load a lot of rounds) and 300 pieces of .38 brass.
The TAC was just over $27/lb by itself - that's only 2-3 bucks over pre-covid SHTF prices of three years ago. Apportioning shipping and hazmat for everything it still comes in at just a bit over $31/lb.
So take that, you effin' gunshow gougers wanting $60-$75 per pound of powder...
