I bought a HW 97 springer air rifle a while ago when the forest was shut down for months due to the fires. They are a good choice to keep your shooting skills on track. Very accurate within their limits.

Yeah. But, booo.
I've shot multiple ground squirrels @100 yards with a springer in .17 caliber.
Hearing the whomp of the pellet is kinda cool

White River Energetics is expanding to include single base powder.
I see that people are willing to throw down $500 for 8LBS of H4895, and they cant wait to throw down their money. So No the prices will not come down
because people are willing to pay whatever for powder.
So from Hodgon's perspective there is ZERO reasons to reduce the price of powder.

Funny name for a girl, Brett .....
We can do nothing to control the prices of powder and primers. That’s entirely up to the manufacturer. I’m a little tired of all the complaining to tell the truth. Prices go up, always have and always will.
Just because primers and powder were cheaper ten years ago, I would bet some of you were complaining about powder being up to $30 a pound or primers being all the way up to $25/1000 or whatever back then. I get it. I don’t like paying today’s prices either but they are what they are.
Have you seen the prices of new pickups? How many of you are waiting for the price to come down? The bigger question is how many of us went ahead and purchased that truck for the same price you could once buy a house for.
You want to try to lower powder and primer prices? Start a manufacturing facility to make your own and see what you have to charge to make a profit.

That'll cost a heck of a lot more than shooting!

Golf gets me allot more excited then shooting lately and then there's bass fishing, nothing any of us can do to lower the prices. You will need to pay to play
There's always mental maturation dreaming of lower prices

Hodgdon powder co owns many brands, Hodgdon, IMR, Winchester, Ramshot, Accurate, Blackhorn, Pyrodex, Triple Seven, and White Hots. Could a case be made that this is a monopoly? If so is there anyone in the federal government that would do anything about it? It sure seems to me like the Hodgdon company has too much influence, and under their rule prices have almost tripled. Maybe its time for some government oversite. I never in my life thought any thing like that would come out of my mouth, but i have 8 lb jugs of powder that are not too old that i bought for less than $200. You used to get a cheaper price for buying the quantity of 8 lbs, last time I looked the powder I was looking at you could buy 8 1lb cans for less than 1 8lb jug. I got persuaded to try VV165 in my 6.5-284, best powder Ive ever used, I should have switched all of my powders to VV back then. I pains me that we are being screwed by an American company, yet VV has tried to keep prices down. I imagine with the war in Ukraine and most of the European countries building up their militaries they are probably under more pressure to produce than anyone in the US.

That will lower your cost, but not necessarily the retail price unless many other also stop. I don’t foresee that happening!
