I stopped into a gun shop that's part of a chain of stores, mostly in Ohio.
They had several of Alliant powders on the shelf. Alliant seems usually to be the hardest to obtain in these droughts.
But the horror began when I realized the 1# bottles were priced at $50+. And some 5# jugs were over $200.
To compare, there was a 8 lb. jug of HP-38 priced at $214. And I ended up buying the last 1# of H335 for about $34 OTD.
I'm not accusing the LGs of gouging. I could imagine that they had to pay a premium to get that brand. But at over $15 difference per pound, I'll settle for the Hodgdon.
Has anyone seen similar price difference?
