Today at Graf's

For those looking for Blue Dot, I found it. Several 4# caddies. Price was $170 as I recall. Also had 1 pounders of Unique, Sport Pistol, Power Pistol and nearly all Accurate powders and wide selection of VV.

Large shelf section floor to eye level full of primers, including Ginex LRP. $50 per 500. No other LRP I could see, but just about every other type of primer covered by one brand or another.

FWIW.

Their website still shows Blue Dot as out of stock.

Actually, I’d give $170 for 4 pounds! But you have to add shipping, haz mat, and 6% sales tax! $210 delivered…
I recently saw 1lbs for 69.95 !
I passed as with 10% sales tax that would have been almost $77.00lb!
What is Alliant thinking?
I started reloading 54yrs ago. I first used Unique. $4.00 lb IIRC.
Loaded 16gr in 20ga 1oz shot shells. That’s 23cents a shot just for the powder!
Add 12 cents for a wad, 10cents for a primer, 15cents for shot.
That’s 60cents to reload a 20ga shell!
You can but them for 34cents at Walmart already loaded with the hull thrown in!
No thank you!

He is showing store. Web sight is for warehouse. Different deal. Store gets first dibs on what warehouse has. Store is walk in only.

Unique....

I would love 4lbs of Blue Dot and 4 lbs of 700X just wish I could find them , but with some correspondence I had with Hodgdon recently they told me don’t expect any 700X this year. I was told Ukraine is making a mess with powder and primer supplies.

I got plenty of BD, but I need some BE-86, but not at $48/#!

Unique....

I'd take bd and benchmark

That getting more money for the same product is great for the bottom line.

After all scalpers setting crazy prices didn't stop people from buying during the panic. Why not just make that "the new normal" and pocket the extra themselves.

Makes sense to me, if I were the seller.

What makes prices go down is competition or we would still be looking at $500 AR's selling at $2000 or $80 30 round mags but everyone and their brother saturated the AR market for us.

It is too bad, for buyers, that its more difficult to setup to produce primers and powder...

Yep. For game loads, it's not worth loading them to me.
I got set up for shotshell loading a few years ago, and bought one bag of 7.5 shot. More than half of it is still there.
The only thing that's worth it for me is loading buckshot. A big savings there is that I cast my own buckshot. There are savings to be had there, but not for much else.

I see there's some IMR4350 on that shelf too. I'd love to find some of that at a reasonable price.
My local Sportsmans Warehouse had it the other day.....................for $74.99 a pound.

One of the nice things about being able to buy from their retail store is when they put stock out on the floor, they put a price sticker on it. That is the price you pay. Some of those 1 pound bottles sitting on the shelf may be priced $20 or more below what price would go on it today. They honor the old price.

Problem is, that’s still less than mrp! It’s new stock, as they sold out during COVID panic. Alliant is the one scalping us.
