Probably closer to $80 a pound to your door.
H4895 and H4198 -- Hodgdon Availability Report
- Thread starter moondog

Thank goodness that I’m good now .
I planned on using H4895 in a 28" bolt 223 Wylde build with 75g ELDMs but after all my research, based on never finding it, and down to my last pound, it forced me to explore N540. Glad I did. It's cheaper, readily available, and just as fast and accurate as H4895. I get 3000fps and 1/3-3/8 MOA. I have zero intentions on going back to 4895.

crap!!! I am tempted to sell the 24 pounds I have now.
I received an email notice yesterday that these same powders would be available 'next week'....
they have listed Out of stock on the site for H-4895 as of yesterday
shouldn't it be out of stock until it becomes available some time 'next week'? Am I missing something?

It may not be "out of stock", just that they don't want to put any more up right now. They are probably assessing the asking price and trying to determine how much more they can get for the next batch.
Assuming someone bought the max allowed of three units at $66 a pound, plus sales tax ($4), plus transportation($20) plus haz mat fee($20) = about $85 a pound delivered.
If you load 35 grains per round that 1 pound gets you 200 rounds. That equals about 43 cents for powder in a 30Br case, plus darn close to fifty cents per bullet plus 10 cents per primer is1.03$ not including the case. Yikes!
Anyone for shuffleboard?
Are they sending any to the bigger vendors or just their website?
No idea. I CHECK HERE for best prices.

To be honest I would be really surprised if they release any of those powders in 8-lb jugs. Usually when the supply is limited they usually only package in 1-lb bottles which has been my observation for the past few years.

Agreed. So when I stated shooting benchrest the cost of one round for powder, primer and powder was .347. Using the US inflation calculator that .37 in 1990 is .81 today...just pure average inflation. I shows that the inflation rate in bullets, powder and primers is quite in excess of that. My current calculated value of those three components is 1.03$. That's about 27% in excess of normal inflation. Just one of those things I guess. I'm not blaming any one or any company, just looking at it as it is.
