RDA Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I got bad news for you if you think powder is coming down much further. Unless the manufactures lower their prices its not gonna happen.( Yes I have access to invoices from Hodgdon and ATK) So when you go through that 4 year supply where do you think powder prices will be? midway is 29.49 on varget then shipping and hasmat. If you find powder you better buy it. It depends. I have seen Varget locally for ~$25 a pound in 1 lb units and $180 for 8 lb units. Powder Valley has it for $23.25 and $165, respectively, when they get it. But, I'd generally say you won't see it for less than what Powder Valley sells it.

RWatts Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have never purchased from power valley, but I would have to assume they add shipping/hasmat fees to that. so then what is the final price? A lot also has to do with how long they have had that Varget, did they get it straight from Hodgdan or did they get it from a distributor. I think that prices may fall some but the guys sitting around waiting on " the good old days" are going to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying in quantity for online purchases is the way to go to offset shipping & hazmat. Ex. Just bought 16lbs of HS6 (not really a big order) from Powder Valley and it came to around $20.80/lb with shipping/hazmat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1911 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I paid under $30 per pound to my door for 8# of N320 from PV. That was about 4 months ago. While I don't expect prices to be what they were prior to the panic, I was paying $16 for Clays at Alpine. If it stays at about $20 per pound, great. If they think I'll pay above $25, I'll continue to buy online. Businesses have the right to excersise their use of capitalism. I have the right to spend my hard earned dollar where it goes the farthest. While I would prefer to support my LGS, I can't do so at the cost of my hobby.

mikeinctown Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 8lb jugs anyone? $139.99 plus tax at my local place. 231 was $10 higher. They had TiteGroup, 700x, and a bunch of other Hodgdon powders. Was surprised that their shelves weren't completely full of Alliant stuff like they were prior to Christmas. Did notice powder did go up a couple bucks vs last fall prices. Primers also went up a couple bucks and LPP was sold out. 20150130_173827-1 by mikeinctown, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeinctown Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 They wouldn't ship it to you anyway. They have 4 locations and one location gets way more powder than the others. Heck, I didn't even know the one location has a range until last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDA Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I called yesterday and they said No problem. I stand corrected, I just spoke to their shipping department at their primary location and they will ship hazmat, they got certified last year.
