Powder Prices are Insane

The Varget was actually $448.99, it may be coming in eight 1 lb bottles. I found it a bit cheaper elsewhere, but they didn’t have N140, so would have had to pay two shipping and Hazmat fees. 

Hope Hodgdon sells H4895 again. It’s the best powder for light bullets in the M1 and 03 Springfield. 

You can bet increasing profit is irresistible when the demand exceeds supply.  The only way prices will fall is if we all stop buying powder. 

Too many people that are well above being financially stable as well as not caring to allow that to happen today.

Many years ago, I was part of a group of Long Haul Truck Drivers with dedicated runs out of all the ports in Long Beach California. 335,000 plus drivers shut our trucks down for 3 days to attempt to do something similar with dropping prices. The problem was that the other 13.5 million drivers at the time got scared.  If those wheels ain't turning, you aint makin' any money and company drivers were being replaced with "Slip Seat" drivers so product kept moving. The drivers that shut down kept dozens of Container Ships stationary at multiple locations but, after the 72 hour shutdown, the remaining drivers shrugged it off and started moving "Freight of All Kind" once more. In the end, it didn't matter.  Big business never got scratched. The majority of drivers that shutdown were given the choice to turn in their respective trucks and look for gainful employment some place else or stay in the truck and continue to driver but at a substantially lower pay grade however. Gun Powder, Primers, Bullets and Cartridge Case prices will steadily increase. Alot of people not willing to wait it out and sit on their hands...
