I don’t use much h4895 but I would think there has got to be a more available alternative for it. Maybe TAC or some other ramshot powder. What are you using it in? Where are you located?

Wow, I bought 9 one pounders from a LGS two months ago for under $50 per pound. WTF comes to mind at $200 per pound.

At $200 a pound, Fort Knox has nothing on me right now! The last time I bought H 4895 was I’m thinking 2018 or 2019 from powder Valley. It was just over $400 for 2 8 pound jugs and that is with shipping and hazmat. I remember wondering if I was doing the right thing sense I had already had 20 pounds on hand. Thank you William Jefferson Clinton, you came through again! I might be shooting my BRA against myself, but at least I will be shooting.

Ignore those adds. I’ve seen some prices on Gunbroker that just make me giggle. The audacity of some sellers is so insulting, it’s hilarious.

Josh is right. If you shop on GB, then you deserve what you get. Like the D-bags at gunshows who are trying to sell ammo for triple the cost of what it can easily be had for online -- if you buy from them, then you are part of the problem. Excellent (1/2 MOA capable) factory 6.5 CM ammo can be bought online for as little as $1.15 per round, delivered. Norma brass, which is included in the stuff to which I refer, would cost about $1/piece. Add $0.35 for a bullet. Powder and primer, and most of all your irreplaceable TIME to reload, increases the cost. So, in this scenario, why would I reload? I wouldn't. So I bought ten cases of the stuff, and I'm not sure that is enough.

At a local gunshow, there was a table with 8 lb jugs of 4064 at $455 per. Or, for those of us who know the other sources in this area, simply drive 20 minutes to the shop where they sell this powder for $299/jug.

Caveat Emptor.

Good question. Shipping costs + Hazmat fee can really run up the cost. The only way I've ever been able to minimize this is by buying in big lots, even to the point af making up a bulk shipment by sharing an order with shooting buddies. That can bring down the price per pound a lot. Also, if you haven't already looked, you might want to check out Powder Valley for prices. I've generally found them to be quite a bit cheaper than most places. Good supplier.
