Cost of powder.

[Don Fischer]

Just looking at powder on line. Though about AA 4350 till I got to check out. I thing it was $40 a pound then got to shipping and $35 hazmat fee! OTR truck's can mostly carry 80,000#. That's something close to 3 million dollars for a truckload of 1# cans of powder. Sounds kind of steep to me!

The cheapest most available powder out there. It’s dumb but my 243 likes it. I don’t think reloading components are coming back.

Hate to break it to you but 80,000 is the total weight of the semi and trailer loaded. Mostly we can haul around 40k depending on the setup.

And you would be surprised on how much the skids it’s packed on weighs.

So $1.5 million? Either way. Seems like price gouging to me

I just picked up an 8-pound jug of Reloder 26 for $600.
Sucks man.

I was gonna type out a long response, but it’s just not worth it.

Yea I know that. Drove them myself for about 30 yrs!

 

[Caseknife]

Yeah, have a pound of RL22 that is not too old and it has a hand written price of $15.99, will never see that again.

I just wonder when we will actually see RL-26 On a shelf again.

 

[grizzly63]

Stop crying and start buying or stop shooting. It is coming back by the way. Were half way there, just waiting for the Large rifle primers to drop.

 

[MThuntr]

Damn I'm glad I got 16lbs of rl26 when it was $25/lb

Half way back? Look at the shelves there is nothing. I don’t see that changing.

I agree with Grizz and believe it’s coming back. I’m seeing some powder and pistol/small rifle primers regularly. There are still some powders and bullets I’m waiting for. The prices stink and I don’t see prices going down much once supply catches back up.

 

[44hunter45]

It ain't back until I get my hands on some RL-23.

 

[tom338]

I always check the hazmat fee's of places before I hit the "buy" button. Some places charge way over what hazmat should be and then put a huge shipping fee on top of that. Was nice to buy a bunch of powder and primers together for the one fee

I sure hope I'm wrong but I believe it'll be a long time before we see RL23 on shelves. I have one pound left and being stingy, should last me for two more years. I'd been mostly shooting alliant powders but lately I've been working on loads using some of the available powders until maybe it comes back.

I coulda done better, but not sure if one of the bridges that you're under is close to me.

Buy the maximum allowed for the fee [I think it's 48 pounds per package for powder] like the dealers do.

The only way that I could legally get it there is to load it into ammo and you pull the bullets and dump it out.

Good way to ship primers in a pinch. It's legal to ship primed brass so just ship 100 primed cases and VERY SOFTLY punch out the primers with a decapping die. Return the unprimed cases or keep if you can use them.
