Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire D-U-N - Done...

Yesterday's haul from big gun show in West Palm Beach. $50/lb. Last month was $40/lb.

But I'm D-U-N done. Won't need another damn thing for a long while.

Look on the bright side. You got half off from Gunbroker prices.

I would pay what you paid now. I am Jonesin' here.

Me too. Last buy was a few days ago with a couple of pounds of Acc #9 for my 10's.

Jesus how long you been lugging that can of Reloader 7 around?

I haven’t bought powder in a couple years. Want to say mid 20ish a pound?

What was it last year before the Wuhan got ahold of us?

Somewhere in MT powder is stored in 100 pound canisters on a semi truck trailer and sold in bulk to customers.
The guy in the striped shirt arrived on his dresser Harley to buy powder.

For the last 5-6 years or so, I thought $28-33 was a ripoff at BassPro.

What I didn't know..

Really?? I had no idea it had gotten that high on gunbroker. Geez.

Last week A local guy traded me this big jug of unique for a brick of small rifle primers. We both seemed happy.

Years. From my 7mm BR XP-100 days.

I stocked up last spring on Ramshot eight-pounders for $159 ea, 3 at a time to cut the Haz and shipping... Wish I'd gotten a few more batches, because I sold some, but I'm set.

This plus an 8lber of BLC2 and a 4lber of WST.

Only thing I'm lite on is H4895, getting down to 1/2lb.

I'm pretty much set for me and the grandkids till I die, powder, primers, bullets, brass/hulls... always have feelers out there for local trades though.

I could use some WSF but otherwise I'm good

I wish I could ship powder. I've got plenty of wsf. I have a friend in Oklahoma now that sometimes drives through.

I have most of what I need, but only a fraction of what I want

Same here, thanks to a tip from 79S about 3-4 weeks ago, I got 9lbs of powder I had been looking for.

That's the spirit!
(Same here).

If'n I could trade some of these cases of toilet paper for SPPs.....

4831 - dollar and 10 cents a pound - at the Rifle Ranch in Prescott. Plenty in stock.

Oh, sorry - that was 1965.

Bet you don't have THIS Hodgdon load book.
