I can't find an 8 lb jug of H4350 and when I find R16 it is (after tax, shipping and hazmat) about $75 per lb (limit of 2 lbs) so I have not bought it.
I am on the notification list at several places for the H4350 but no luck yet. I have to drive at least an hour to get to anyplace that sales powder so I don't just drop by a shop and see what they have on hand very often.

Just bought a pound of 8208 for $63.00. Only one on the shelf and the first I’ve seen in more than two years. In late 2019 it was $28/lb.

I have been fortunate that my LGS has been pretty well stocked for the duration and fairly priced so I have not had to order any on-line.

Found 5lbs of Retumbo for $44/lb.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Found 5lbs of Retumbo for $44/lb. I picked up an 8#'er of Retumbo for Rio7 six or so months ago and it was pricey and my LGS advised they paid dearly for it. Rio drove 5 hours from South Texas to pick it up and was happy to have it.

I have to drive at least an hour to get to anyplace that sales powder so I don't just drop by a shop and see what they have on hand very often. That sucks pullit.. Hopefully prices and availability will get better. As far as H4350, it's been available for the last 4 months or so, but sporadic. My local gunshop has had it on the shelves for about $50/pound or $394/8 pound jug. Price sucks, but if you look at Hodgdon that's what it costs, plus you have to pay shipping. Midsouth had it for $41/pound a while back. I ordered 6 pounds of it and after I included shipping and Haz mat fees, I should have just bought it here locally because it came out to be about the same price. I'll remember that for next time and not order online so guys like you can have a better chance to get it. Keep an eye on Midsouth shooters supply. They have it from time to time, but it does not last long..

I am not that far from Midsouth, (once again, about an hour) so if they ever get any in, I can run up there and pick it up. While there, there are a few gun shops that carry powder I would hit at the same time, so it makes the trip worth wild.
