High priced powders

[COLT45SA]

It's easy to see what powders are selling (and must be the most profitable). Just go to Hogdon'd site or anyone else's site that sells powder and see which powders are offered at the higher prices. they're the ones in highest dem`1

Let us not forget the famous line “this inflation is transitory 6 to 9 months at most“ who knows maybe things will come down a little bit now that times are changing. Time will tell.

If the tariffs are implemented on goods imported into USA the cost of these goods will go up in the USA. Varget is made in Australia. The impact on the cost of shooting sports in USA will be significant and permanent. The NRA needs to be lobbing now for for the new administration to not implement non targeted tariffs on imports. You have a limited time to stock up before the increased cost is imposed by your new government.

AND, Calirado just passed a new tax on guns and ammo. I'm sure its going to court tho, hope we win.
They tried to ban fur, glad it didnt, it would have affected fly tying material as well as written.
This is a expensive sport, $1.50 a round, and drive 150 miles round trip to shoot. But, I can shoot up my money, or leave it for someone else, I'm leaving nothing but empty brass and wore out barrels!

Exactly. I don't think a lot of people know how these tariffs will work but you can bet the manufacturers will pass on the cost to consumers.

I think china is the main target for tariffs?

So it seems to me that now is a very good time to bring Powder and Primer manufacturing back to this country. Would not this make us independent with some main components of war? Just sayin.

WRE is a good start.

I remember last time tariffs were implemented the cost of everything exploded and the shelves were empty. I almost went bankrupt and lost my house. I couldn't believe a box of 50 Fiocchi 223 vmax skyrocketed to 14.99 with free shipping. Good thing I only bought 10 boxes at that ridiculous price in 2019.

Just emptied my last can of this cheap powder. And had to open the high priced stuff.

I agree, along with lead recycling

LGS is already $69.99 for hodgdon powders.

Good day,

Bought 8lb. of VV powders for $310/tax/ship/HAZMAT delivered. Still more reasonable than the $30.0+/lb delivered I've paid in the past. If I'd been faster, might have been even less expensive. It will be more with a VAT or tariffs.

HTH,
DocBII

This is my plan also. In fact I should shoot up all ive got before i buy any more and see whats going on at that point.

The good old days were not that long ago. 10 years and the price have tripled.
