They are taking advantage of you.

If you don't like the price don't buy the product. And if you do, don't bitch about it. Got an alternative source for me yet?

I guess MOST people don't won't to accept these are the new prices. If you can't accept the prices sell your reloading gear.

I'm going to wait most of this out. Now that the US and EU are doubling down on defense production, in a few years there will be tons of surplus.

Alliant has had numerous price hikes in the last two years. R17, 19, 22 and 26 are all in the neighborhood of $60/lb from Powder Valley - IF they've got it in stock. And that's before Hazmat fees.

If you don't like the price don't buy the product. And if you do, don't bitch about it. Got an alternative source for me yet? I don't know why I am bothering, cuz this is 101 stuff and you'll have some lame excuses anyway...... IF something is deemed a critical item, ESPECIALLY in market prone to shortages and price escalations: Don't wait until the last minute. Plan ahead.1. Stock up when you can (that's different than hoarding). 2. Develop alternatives. In this case, H1000, V565, etc. 3. Use a different rifle you can load for (you have lots, right?) 4. Buy stuff with your buddies to cut the hazmat, shipping, etc. If you decide to sit on your ass, procrastinate and buy in the spot market at a retail store when urgency strikes, don't bitch about the price and play the victim.

I'll take that as a NO. As for my reloading stock, I have more powder, primers, bullets, brass, lead, linotype, wads, hulls, lead shot, steel shot and gas checks than most. Enough to last well past my lifetime and well into my son's golden years. OH, and who said anything about waiting till the "Last Minute" , Never said I Needed the R-26, or was out of R-26, said I have been looking for it as I am looking for Magnum. I found some, I bought some, if I find more cheaper, I will by more. Otherwise I am good with the 5 1/2 pounds that I have.

I just checked Powder Valley and they list it in stock for $33.99 a pound, though with hazmat and shipping it would be closer to $60.

I just checked. $57.99 for Reloader 26, but out of stock.

My local gun store just got some Reloader 26 in. Been looking for that and Ramshot Magnum for months. Holy Crap, $83.99 a pound. I use it in my 6.5 PRC , so I bought a pound.  Be part of the solution or problem, I pick solution. I'm sure your local LGS thanked you kindly

I just checked. $57.99 for Reloader 26, but out of stock. I check PV, and all my other online sources at least two-three times a week. Reloader Powders, especially the slow burners have been unobtainable for well over a year. If and when PV gets some R-26 in stock, I'm pretty sure it will be more than $58/Lb.

Plenty of gouging at dealer and distributor levels, but, as long as they think the market will bear it.
I don’t think it will for much longer, fwiw. I don’t think we’ll see $20/lb powder and $30/1000 primers again, but I think it’ll drop in the next 12 months. Then we’ll have another election and idiots will start filling their garages again…..
