Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Price of powder

Well, went to a couple of LGS today and they all had Federal 215 primers, so I bought some.

I won’t pay the 59.99 my LGS is charging for a pound of powder. I have a pretty decent stash for my needs, but when it’s gone, I’ll be shooting blue box or the like. Not worth it to me.

I get it that the cost of everything goes up, but powder has gone up exponentially compare to brass, bullets, and even primers.

You haven't looked at primer prices lately have you? Yes, everything has gone up, but lets all hope it goes back down after pos is out of office!!!!! Back to primers. BR4's I've seen range from $115-$135/brick. CCI450's locally are $85/brick. Rem 7.5's are $75/brick. I seriously doubt you are seeing them much cheaper.. Go to midsouth, their prices are generally lower than everyone else. You may be surprised to see their prices..
