The biggest problem is gun owners and reloaders have become there own worst enemy.
Do you really think if people like you would just say F.U I'm not paying the prices for just 6 months make do with the 450 rounds you got or shoot a gun that is alot cheaper to shoot like say just a 223 you would pay 83.00?
I get practice why do you think I have the small cals I have, a few I can get 500 rounds out of a pound of powder. LOL You think its funny, you obviously haven't been in the reloading game long. Keep blaming the Dems for everything, look in the mirror. Oh I by the way I'm NOT A DEM, never voted for one in my life but like I said I choose to be part of the solution instead of BITCH about the Dems for everything but choose to be part of the problem

My first press was a MEC 600 jr I believe, set up for 12 gauge. Didn’t start handloading Rifles till much later, late 20’s if I recall. Started handgun even later. Casting is my newest adventure, prolly only been casting bullets for 10 or so years. So, yeah, I’m pretty green at the whole concept. Got any pointers for this greenhorn?

Only couple years behind you but I learned in early 2000's

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. 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. They must like you better. I just checked. $57.99 for Reloader 26, but out of stock. I just rechecked PV and its now $59.99 a pound--and out of stock. Also looked at Midway USA at the same time as PV earlier. Back then Midway listed it $45.99 a pound before shipping--and now it's $61.99. But both times it was out of stock.

I just googled both Re powders. Found 26 at Hunters precision & 22 there & Midwest powders. One of those 2 places had a $31 flat rate ship & took the quantity up to 4# & the ship cost remained at 31.
Ammoseek shows vendors w/CCI standard vel. under 7 cents, One place had case lots for 6.5 cents & free shipping. Just called Hunters Precision, LOL. Got a guy from Pakistan that couldn't speak broken English, let alone English. It's a scam site.

..and you're telling the internet, why? That's why you're telling the internet? So I guess you're not going to answer the question. I'm telling members here that R-26 is available again, but it is crazy expensive. You are the one that said I got ripped off. I'm now asking you to prove I got ripped off by posting alternative sources. So far you have failed to do so. If you're too dumb to realize you got hosed, then you deserve to pay a 30% premium. The very few times Natchez or Powder Valley has had it, it was $58/lb.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Think if and when it becomes available it will still sell for $58/Lb. Now who is being dumb.

I can look the other way and giggle that you paid that much for RL-26
but buying a 6.5 PRC and posting about it on a public forum is shameful & unforgivable

The dumbasses are the ones who didn't buy enough [bleep] to last them along while through this B.S. you claim you've been reolding for years well whats your excuse for not having enough 26, it was readily available about 3 years ago when I bought mine.

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. They must like you better. I just checked. $57.99 for Reloader 26, but out of stock. I just rechecked PV and its now $59.99 a pound--and out of stock.[/quote] It's been out of stock you two years.[/quote] No, it hasn't been. It may have always been out of stock when you checked in, but here's a screenshot of the comments on their site. The post is from July 31, 2023. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/232008.jpg) Wish I'd taken a screenshot of their site when I found RL-26 listed a few hours ago, but suspect like any hard to find powder it's often sold out within minutes, especially after somebody on a forum like this mentions that it's available. In this instance it might have been me. Which is also probably why the listed price for "out of stock" RL-26 has gone up since I checked PV a couple hours later. Internet sellers often gauge demand by hits on their website, and adjust prices accordingly. If you can't read the screenshot clearly enough, the post is on Powder Valley's site, in the "Review and Questions" section.

I get practice why do you think I have the small cals I have, a few I can get 500 rounds out of a pound of powder. You’re pretty hung up in the 450 rounds eh? Why would I be hung up on 450 rounds when probably have enough primer,powder and bullets to load 15-20,000 of stuff just for my small cals alone. Its called planning and learning from previous B.S I shoot alot i guarantee more than most except competition shooters. Last 8lb jug of powder I bought was 180.00 of AA2200 2 years ago from my local LGS for my 17 and 20' now I got 32lb which will load around 12- 13,000 rounds that I use it in. Only primers I've bought in last 5 years was probably 200 pistol primers for my 44 mag which I barely shoot.

I'm really glad I'm not a kid taking up the shooting sports. The first Obama run frightened me such that I stocked up then.
