went to their website — we used to buy powder for 10 bucks a pound or less. seems like with surplus or pull down powder you never know if you will be able to get more. id rather pay the extra 100 for 8 pounds and have a better chance of getting more down the road. mite be a moot point as i see they are all out of stock at american.

Yeah they stay out of stock. I guess the reloading crunch has got more people buying from them and the market is setting the price. Maybe as things return we will see surplus/pulldown trend back down.

thanks for the tip
used to be a number of places selling surplus powder. no more that i know of— with the price of the Vargets- IMRs Hs ect im sure many people looking for altenatives. thanks
Honestly, I havent bought much rifle powder the past 4 years from American except for some of their black friday discounted sales when you buy 16lb or 32lb.. And even then its been things like MW H335, AA2230 or 2250 to run large qtys of 5.56 on my automated 1050 for AR plinking rounds.... Prices just arent the huge crazy deal they used to be... Hopefully they come back down.
The other powders are great like MW IMR4451, MW AR Comp, MW 8208, MW VVN550, MW VVN133 but the price the MW powders have risen to, I just buy the real thing for a few more dollars.....
I have been buying their 8lb pistol powders for my 9mm, 45acp and 10mm which can still be had for a good deal in the $125-$145 per jug range.
