If anybody's looking for smaller quantities of CFE Pistol, Academy Sports has it for $23.99/lb plus tax/shipping. Apparently they don't charge a hazmat. (!?)

Limit 3 per person.
Everything else seems to be sold out, though.
ETA: I guess that's not a sale, exactly, more just availability.
edited for clarity.
I’ll let you know when (if) my order arrives. Looks to be a legit company...very extensive retail distribution, just nothing really close to me. So happy for free shipping...and I’ll take free Hazmat when offered. Even better, it’s $2 per bottle cheaper than my local Cabela’s, my only source for locally acquired powder, and I didn’t have to break shelter in place rules. Sales tax charged all the same, so Ohio’s happy.They have some other powders available for delivery to home.
Are the boxes coming with the proper Hazmat info on them? Or is some neckbeard at the store just dropping the bottles in a box and slapping a shipping label on it?

Received my 3 bottles of CFE-Pistol today. Just as you...ORM-D sticker, regular box, powder clearing rolling around in the bottom of the box with some air pillow filler. Absolutely floored me. No signature either. Whenever I’ve received factory ammo lately I’ve had to sign for it.My powder didn't have the proper box, or proper labels.
It had the ORM-D ammo label on it.
I'm conflicted on this. I hate to pay Hazmat and shipping, but I pay it when I have to. Honestly, the free shipping at $25 wouldn't have been enough to have me order powder from them if I had to add Hazmat. I can get CFE-Pistol locally...well, when I'm not on state ordered social distancing.It's something lacking at the corporate level. But I'm not going to tell them.
Academy is a privately-owned Company with it's HQ literally 'just a few odd miles' up the road from me in Katy TX. From their website:is this a legit company
Nice.good news is Bi-Mart is employee owned with headquarters in Oregon.
It was 7 years ago ... wow, how time flies - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...components-on-sale.707473/page-3#post-8827134^^History repeating itself^^
I remember it well. In my area, small pistol primers were the first to disappear. When they started showing up again, pistol powder became hard to find. When I could find a pound of something at the local gun shows, I would buy it just to try it.I hope the shortage doesn't get as bad as the "Great Component Shortage" of 2013.
I know. A lot of extra miles were put on vehicles looking for those unicorns!It was 7 years ago ... wow, how time flies - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...components-on-sale.707473/page-3#post-8827134
Did you notice 7 years ago, 8 lbs of W231/HP-38 was $121 and Promo was $95?
I hope the shortage doesn't get as bad as the "Great Component Shortage" of 2013.
