Great selection of pistol powders at the Raleigh gun show today. Titegroup, Power Pistol, BE86, #5, #7, #9, True Blue, Zip, all the Dots, 700x, 800x, W296/H110, Bullseye, Unique.... Prices from $22 - $27 for 1 lb bottles. Blue Collar had the best prices, $22 for most powders which included tax. Primers for $28 including tax.

I picked up a couple more pounds of Bullseye so I am all set with that, and I picked up a pound each of #5, #9, and Zip to try out.
 
Not much at the gunshow today, but I did pick up a pound of 1680 for $24.99 plus tax. I passed on the $29.99 and up primers.

I did see some Zip which I have not seen for some time. They had other Ramshot powders as well. I probably should have picked up another pound of Silhouette, but I didn't really need it.
 
If in the Indiana, Ft. Wayne area. Stop in at Tomlinson's in Churubusco and visit Annie. They have a very good supply of powder and primers in stock pretty much all the time.

Here's some powders I've managed to find on their shelves lately.

does the vacuum packing help preserve powder better?
My reloading room is in my 125 yr old basement. Even though it is dry, it still draws humidity from the washer/dryer, block walls, etc. I happened to have a food saver in the kitchen so I figured "What the heck, it couldn't hurt" especially for un-opened bottles that may be stored for lengthy periods of time and it's cheaper than a good de-humidifier. My opened bottles are just stored in the cabinet, in ziplock bags with a rechargeable desiccant pack in each bag. It's all probably overkill but it's one less thing I have to worry about.

I also vacuum pack my un-opened bricks of primers until needed.
 
I'm only taking an educated guess, but I doubt that vacuum-sealing unopened powder makes any difference.

But, like you said, it can't hurt.
 
AA#9 in 1 lb & 8 lb @ Powder Valley.
Just ordered some, along with some S&B SPP, and hazmat came out to about $1.50 per lb and per 1,000 primers. Should be good for a while now.

Can't locate large bottles of Blue Dot, so N350, Longshot and No. 9 will be my slower powders for now.

I use these for 10mm and .357SIG.

And for the record, those pre-made bags that nothing fits in just right is perfect for one pounders of hodgden powder bottles. I'm going to seal my primers next. This is the perfect way to long term store and to know which powders are opened. Plus it appeals to my weird obsession with vacuum sealing stuff.
 
I went ape on Widener's web site last night - $436 later, I have 16 lbs of assorted smokeless & 5 lbs of Goex black powder on order. I went a little overboard but saved some money on the Hazmat fee by getting 16 lbs. I got 8 lbs of LeveRevolution, lb cans of H414, H380, CFE223; Accurate 2015, 2200, 2460, and XMR 5744 to add up to another 8. It's been so long since there was a decent selection I bit two bullets and went wild... That should hold me for a few months :p

P.S. Here's a link to the smokeless listing: https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/3512
 
Picked up an 8 pounder of Unique and an 8 pounder of Titegroup at Camp Perry a National Matches in Port Clinton, Ohio. Unique was $139.99 and Titegroup was $115.00. They had cases of 1 pounder and pallets of 8 pounders of Bullseye. Made for a great day.
