It was labeled IMR with no mention of Hodgden.

There could be light at the end of the tunnel. Last night I went to the Kittery Trading Post and they had CCI 22LR and 22 WMR and a lot of it. Prices were not what they used to be, 300 rounds of either 36gr HV HP or 40 gr round nose SV was $29.99. 22 WMR was $49.99 for 200 rounds. No limit per customer. Again this is the first time since a promotional sale last where 22 ammo sold out in minutes that I have seen American made 22 ammo on their shelves without a feeding frenzy.

The S Warehouse here in Denver has all sorts of powder on the shelves, even some 1# cans of PB which is supposed to be discontinued. Still kicking myself for not snagging the three 8# or maybe 12# tins of PB from the Tanner show here last year. Just don't have a way to get it home. Best deal I've seen for at least AR ammos is Wideners. Israeli IMI cans of 1200 rds of 55 or 62 gr FMJ for way cheaper than anyone I've seen in a long time. Same with 55/62 gr FMJ bullets for reloading. I think it was 9.4/12.3 cents each. If I were driving home tomorrow instead of flying I'd be taking some cans of ammo along.

Now that the powder is about 30.00 a pound what would you bet that when the powder shortage ends the price stays in the 30.00 a pound range.

Yep. It all makes you wonder who all is involved in the conspiracy. Assuming there is one, of course

I don't think I have paid 30 a pound even the last couple years

Even though it took searching and some patience, I eventually found what I needed

Like Rick, I have been able to find what I need without paying out the nose for it. I did find some PB and 7625 pounders and bought them at around $25/lb but they have always been a little more expensive. I was buying 20/28 at around $19/lb and REd and Green dot around $20. I bought 2 lbs of Longshot at $22.50 but think I'll try to get rid of it as it really does not fit with what I want to load.

It may depend on the area you are in but in this area in Goerga powder runs 30.00 to 36.00 a pound. At any rate since we have had a democratic president in office (2008) the price of powder has at least doubled.

We order thru the club from a distributor - no sales tax and no shipping. Most powders are under $112 for 8#s. Promo is 88/8 and Clay Dot is 92/8. I'd never pay 30/lb. You guys are gonna have to start buying 8 lbs at a time and find a way to get it cheaper.
