2024 Powder Prices...ugh

[Local Loader]

I remember the good ole days last summer when 231 was $35/lb…

Not sure where you go, but I'm still getting win231 for $32 to $35 a pound, for now anyway.

Interesting, Sportsman's is $45/lb…

Haven't seen 231 at Bi-Mart in forever…

And back in October of 2022, I ordered a 4 lb jug of Ramshot Zip for $100 from Powder Valley. Today it is $149.99, a 50% increase in 15 months. Grab as much $35 pounds of W-231 as you can afford and store, because in another 15 months the $45 Sportsman's price will be a bargain.

There are still a few places doing $35 a lb for win321 and hp-38 local and there are a few places you can order as well for $38 or less per lb.

Last Year.
I guess, I stocked up at the "right time". If.....there was a "right time" for that?

Aloha, Mark

Everything has gone up, with most being over 25% and higher...

I bought a pound of 4064 today for about $45 and was happy to find it. Tucked behind some other powder like someone was thinking about it but didn't want it walking off while they decided. Spendy but will load me a little less than 200 rounds worth so... It's nice to have

No wonder, I couldn't find that.

Ouch. I'm pretty good for a few months, but then the pain will be felt…

I don't feel so bad about how much I paid for my keg.

In less than a month, Sportsman's warehouse in K-Falls has raised the price of BL-C(2) from $37 to $47 and change. I would not be surprised is prices peak over $60 a lb by summer.

Don't forget HP-38 and Win 231 have the same data.

Holy Fu*k! Sportmans wants $75 a lb for IMR 4198 now and other IMR powders, they can keep it for that price.

Edit: I got curios and went back and checked, just 3 years ago IMR4198 was only $26 a lb. A 100% increase a year is nuts.

Yeah, I think IMR is off the table for now. I was using 4064 in the Garand and Swede Mauser. Decided to try Stabal 6.5 and hit on a great load for the Swede. Not sure where I'll go when my 4064 is gone for .30-06.

That went up to $54 a lb now. Most Alliant powders have become cheaper than Hodgdon powders.

I noticed they were higher than Bimart but didn't think that much? bubblegum

Yeah avg. price increase at Sportsmans is $10 per bottle, some even went up $15. I guess my buying powder days are over till prices drop back down. This increase is higher than even the listed or predicted increases that were announced.

 

[Sporting Systems]

$58.23per lb for h1000 from Hodgdon direct, not counting s&h.

• The max order quantity of any powder SKU is 5 and we will only accept one order, per customer, per calendar month with a maximum weight of 48lbs.

Don't think I've seen them place this kind of restriction before.

They've had restriction on their consumer website for about 4 years now.

They have but not this strict before.
