I have a bunch of Benchmark.. our local Bi Mart Chain here in Oregon, had it on the shelves quite a while.

Guess they had ordered a big amount of it, that was delayed and when it finally came in, it was in HUGE volume.

When other powders were selling for $30 a pound., they had plenty of Benchmark on the shelves for $22 a pound.

I use to buy a pound of it, every time I seemed to go into a Bi Mart store...to the tune of having 40 plus pounds of it.

I've still got quite a bunch of it, but I'll never see that price ever again. I use it most in the 6.5 Grendel.

But H 322 is a good substitute.. burn rate of the two powders is pretty darn close.

but then I have no shortage of H 322 either...
