Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Varget price

Bought two 1lb'ers at a LGS couple of weekends ago. 70.00 for both of them. I've never used it, but for that price I'll find something to do with it.

I’ve got a couple of the one pounders and one eight pounder. Should last me the last of my reloading and shooting days.

I have enough of all powders I use to keep shooting a moderate amount for some time without having to buy. Unless I see a deal, I'm gonna refrain from doing any panic buying based off what I'm seeing, and just hold off and hope justice prevails and a change in administration this fall will reverse course after some time. And hope it's not $100 a lb by the time I need more.

I bought a pound of 7828 cheap. I don't know what it's good in caliber wise but for $20 I'll chance that it will work in something I have.

Works great in a 243, 25-06 and about anything like a 280 on up. Good 270 powder as well!

I've used it with good results in 264 Winchester magnum, and 257, 7mm, and 300 Weatherby magnums.

A couple of days ago, i bought 2 lbs of Big Game on line for $32 per.. waiting on the brown truck now.

I saw Varget 2 weeks ago for $62 a lb here locally.

That charge weight should read 58.5 grs of IMR-7828. 7828 makes my 280 shine

I just bought an 8lb jug of pull down for $23.75/ lb delivered. That includes hazmat. I've bought pull down before and had good luck with it when I work up a particular load. Once I do find a load that works the 8 pounders insures I have enough for my use for a long time. It certainly helps offset the cost of name brand stuff lately.

If Trump is back in office, I'll bet the pricing will drop like it did the last time he got elected. That is why I bought and bought when he was in office.. Paid $15 for a 1000 primers, and usually spent $100 a month on primers.

Stocked up on a lot of powder when he was in office also.

If the DemocRATs cheap their way back into office once again, I think we can all give up shooting and hunting.
They will either start confiscating firearms, or the components and ammo will be so sky high priced, and then probably get highly taxed on top of that... The average guy could afford to buy on pound of powder a year, or one or two boxes of 20 rounds of ammo a year.

We are at a cross roads.... if it goes to the democRATS pulling off another big cheat like the last time.. a guy my age, might as well give anything I have away as 'collector' items....

Great I just happen to have a couple 243's, a 25-06 and a 280.I came across a couple of pounds of all thing H4895 yesterday

I hope you are right and Trump gets back into office.
But don't think it will affect component prices. The world won't let it happen.

Any recent Reloder series powders I have seen lately are in the 80.00 lb range , so 50.00 bucks a lb seems relatively cheap........

Boatanchor,
Are you using the N140 in a 308?

Yeah, the current price and availability of components have little to do with American politics, it has everything to do with Putin and Ping…..

I was in a Scheel's a couple weeks ago and they had 1 pound of Varget in the entire store. $49 + tax. I grabbed it. I hate paying that much for powder but my 308 really likes Varget and having an extra pound on hand makes sense. That brings me to 5 lbs on hand which will keep my 308 shooting for quite a while.

The two places I can get powder locally have it priced at $57 and $65 per pound.

$51 for Varget here locally, but the new IMR powders that came in, whew!! $65 for most of them. I'm not buying any of it yet, just keeping tabs on it, but the day is coming at some point.

Buy it when you can get it. It won't get any cheaper
