Powder stash gone.

This is depressing. Just finished off my last jug of surplus powder. Bought 2 32lbs cases mil. surp. powder a few years back and today I emptied the last one. Cheap shooting is over, my FAL has a large apatite.

If ever I loaded for a fiddy, I'm sure my eyes'd bug at the depletion rate.

Just curious how much that canister powder was.. like $7/lb or what?

What kinda load did you end up using in your FAL? 64 pounds of powder is plenty to work up a load..

I bought them for just under $300 each delivered, almost $8 a pound.
This was WC846T, trying to light tracers that never did lite.
Info on the jugs say it's to be loaded as BLC-2. I settled on 45 grains to make the supply last as long as possible and not batter my rifles unnecessarily. A large amount went down the barrels of my mosin's as well.

When you get up to your body weight of Bullseye shot out of pistols, get back to me kid. lol, just kidding.
Nice shooting. What's canister powder going for these days.. roughly?

As I'm getting older my body weight is increasing faster than total powder used.
There is no surplus powder to be had anymore.
