Varget

Varget at Cabela's tonight. At least 25 pounds. IMR4895 and some others as well, but I haven't seen Varget for a while.

Thanks for the heads up. Varget is some good powder for a wide range of calibers. You don't happen to remember the price do you?

Sorry, $30 a pound.

I can't figure out why all powder went up from $21 to $30ish at all of the big box stores yet you can still get it online for $20-$22 (but have to pay shipping/hazmat)

I don't know, but these prices are the norm for me now. I got back into reloading just as everything got scarce so I don't feel it. I got back in to load 45-60, but now I'm loading several different cartridges. A teacher in high school told me I had a "flair for the tedious". I think she was right.

Its all part of the panic buying scheme. Alot of ppl started reloading so they could keep shooting during the rush so suppliers saw an increased demand. Prices followed suite. Its much the same reason you can find 22s online for fair prices but some vendors are selling at 50% markups. It will eventually level off but prices always drop much slower than they rise.

Try Spillway Sportsman had 1/2 dozen 8lbs jugs of varget

I was at a range in Alabama last week, and saw over a dozen 1lb bottles of Varget on the shelf. I thought "Wow, it must be my lucky day." Then took a close look and saw each one was labeled $49.95!!!

No thank. I'll buy elsewhere.
