Alliant powder prices

[Majday]

As someone who has been looking on powder valley for powders I have seen prices on alliant powder go up some powders $5-7 over the past few months. Is there a price max anyone sees where too much is too much? I’m just curious as 10x, 7, ar comp and 15.5 are now listed at 39.75/lb. excluding 15.5 the others a few months back were around 34/lb. just wondering thoughts on where the price is too much.

I’ll also say I understand supply and demand and not tagging on alliant but just curious how others view it.

I meant ragging

For me, depends on how much I want to compete. At $230+ for 8lbs I'm still buying.

Container shipping fees are pretty crazy right now, they're up 700% compared to this time last year.

Prices for everything imported are going to get very bad in the near future. Powder prices are the least of our worries.

We can thank Mitch for that!

Yeah I’m just noting an observation. We’ve all talked about prices getting higher and dropping off hopefully, I just hope they don’t get too high to where the “norm” is close to 40/lb. then Again inflation and everything else has gone up substantially so it is what it is and we have to adjust or as jelenko said pay what your willing to.

If you want something to chew on a year and a half ago compared to now, it was like you got a free brick of primers ever time you filled the truck up with gas.

They banned imported Russian ammo. Just wake up one day and read that it’s not gonna be imported effective immediately.

Almost all of our powder is imported……..
$40/lb might be high in a few years or could be a fond memory.

 

[Devin Wiggett]

To high is what Bruno's is charging.

I wonder how much powder is on the several dozen container
ships anchored off the Philly and New York ports ?? There is
about 60 ships anchored off California. Then there is the problem
of moving that freight off the docks and moving it inland. I think
Union Pacific ran out of trackage as did CSX and others.

Anyone else notice that mainly one pounders show up, and no
8 pounders at the much lower price ??

I've been assuming it's either the powder supplier [like Hodgdon] or the distributor [like Powder Valley] who's trying make it so more people can have some.

Suppose the price was $40.00, but you could get all the powder you wanted or needed. Or Primers were $50.00 and available in the corner drug store.

Yes please?

Yup. I’ve paid substantially more.

A store in Tulsa is charging $63 for Reloader powder. One lb per customer per week, And $16.95 per hundred CCI 41's.

I bet it makes a nice display anyway!

As much as I don't like all the high prices, I would pay it for a 8lb. jug of what I need (8208). That would last me about 2 seasons and by that time I would hope things would at least level out.
With any luck the SCOUS will put an end to the second amendment assault this year and finally settle all the BS we all go through, loosening things up a little, but they can't stop importation restrictions. That needs to be done with your votes.

I saw CCI primers on the shelf at a LGS in Conn. I picked up a brick and headed to the counter with a few other items that I had. When I was told that the primers were $150 I placed them back on the shelf.
