It wasn't that long ago that smokeless powder was far less than it is now. Price increases have far exceeded that of inflation. Is this because production costs have increased, the cost of regulation is more than before, etc, or is this simply the end result of "what the market will bear" due to the political climate, increased mass shootings, etc? Or, is this all "our" fault: the fear of our freedoms being taken away, a recent tendency to hoard because of this, and simple supply and demand factors causing exponential increases in gun powder retail prices?
