Just checked Midwayusa and you can get H4350(8lbs) delivered to your front for $54/per pound.
I rarely buy ammo from Midway but evidentially that is not a bad price on powder.

Was in Cabela's this morning and it was $64.99. I guess I should have bought a pound. $65 @ Cabela's $75 @ SW Who's screwing who ? We're all getting screwed. Thank you Hodgdon. because that was the old price that everybody said was too high to pay so they weren't going to buy it...

I have the full size VP9 and it fits like a glove.

When I started reloading(less than 20 years ago), powder was $20/lb...

Hodgdon has rip-off down to a science. Damn them! So they're the ones printing digital dollars out of wonder lust and blowing hundreds of billions $$$$ on endless wars?

Yep. Glad I added several small case rifles to the mix several years ago with the idea of powder conservation. Even a .308 size case is going to get too expensive to load. Thats one of their goals....

Crash, I can't argue with your point...but, American history shows case after case of big business, whether a monopoly of just a few businesses...historically collude to fix prices. In the old days it was railroads, steel, petroleum...anti trust laws were passed...but business found a way around the laws in short order. Right now, your retail beef price is fixed at a stupid high, not by Sam Olson, by the big 3 packers...in the not too distant past it was coffee, sugar, they even tried it with eggs. The dirty little secret is once a very few mega corporations control a product/market item, pure capitalism doesn't work as advertised. Check your wife's diamond ring...DeBeers set the price of that stone. The big players set the rules...laws or no laws.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Glad I stocked up during the Clinton years. It's hard to believe those were the good old days.

Highest price today- $68 & change + tax.

Welcome to Biden's America.
2020 when things were starting to get dicey on component supplies, I paid $179.00 for a 8 lb jug of IMR 4350. Just a little over $22 a lb.
2022 at the same shop it had jumped to $279.00.
Last I checked that shop had it for $389.00
Now Midway has a 8 lb jug of IMR 4350 for $472.99 or $59.12 a lb. Making the H4350 @ $394.00 look like a deal. Man are we being duped by the insidious disease of inflation.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

A local shop has retumbo for $54/pound. I was surprised to see it still on the shelf.

It is good thing that reloading components, ammo in large quantities are not a necessities. Few boxes of ammo, some true necessities plus good friends network should suffice in time of crisys.
