If there's gouging going on it's not the retailer in most cases. New lots of IMR powders that came in are running $65-low $70's about anywhere you look including local shops. It obviously took a big jump across the board. Why that is.........who knows the full answer. But where the retailers are...

I've been keeping tabs on prices like the rest of you I imagine. Prices certainly have taken another big jump. Locally things like Varget, H4350, etc are running $50-$52. The IMR powders went crazy. $65 seems to be the norm for most of them. I haven't been buying, been using what I got. I did...

Interesting. Certainly looks like a CCI primer to me. So either Federal is using CCI primers in their factory ammo, or else they use a different run or identifier for primers in their factory ammo than what they do as a stand alone reloading component.

Another powder that took a big jump in price, although still cheaper than others. It and BG were around $28 a lb when available here locally just fall of last yr, now it's $39. $10-$11 per lb jump.

Jim, I've used a pill bottle for carrying 22 shells when using them for hunting since about as long as I can remember. Even when packed in packs like you're showing. They inevitably ended up opening up sometime during my walking for sq's or whatever, and I'd have a vest pocket full of loose...

I'm still shooting using up my current supplies, but powder prices currently after another big jump are absolutely disgusting. Guess when the time comes I'll have to sell off some things I'm not using to buy more powder and keep shooting. I'm not laying out $400-$500 of my spending money for a...

Glad they arrived safe and sound Lefty. I just checked the tracking # today and seen it said customer picked up package from the post office so I knew it was delivered. Hope they are a part of some successful hunts and memories in the future. (y)

Yes sir. Was looking for somebody that used the 348 for hunting, and preferably for big game. You fit the bill and need bullets. Perfect fit.

Congrats Lefty. I have plenty and tis the season. PM me your address and you have a full box of Hornady 200 gr coming your way on me. Merry Christmas!

Alaska, Canada, or even lower 48 that hunts with the 348 and uses the Hornady 200 gr FP running low? Just curious.

Thanks, it took it. There's deer in the county, just not here this yr for whatever reason. The second Thursday we had snow....I left my house and walked 3.5 miles on a loop on both sides of the ridge here. Cut 1 little deer track and I didn't even follow it because I figured a little deer by...

Deer sightings were few and far between. They just disappeared around here for whatever reason. Wasn't seeing them in the fields in the evenings in the area and even when crops were cut in the beginning and during the rut, zero activity. Some guys think a batch of coyotes has them run out of the...

Jim, I just jumped on here and seen this. I have a Speer # 11 manual that is showing a page for the 170 gr FP for a 32 Winchester Special & the 32 Remington on the same page. In other words the same load data for both? Hodgdon online data has load data for the 32 Winchester Special, but you will...

I shot this 4064 that was given to me with no issues, still have a little bit of it left. The can is in great shape and it did not have rust inside at all, but it's an OLD can of powder. I have not shot the 4320 yet, it's an old can also but based on the looks of it is not as old as the 4064.

I'm with RL and XP. If it looks and smells fine use it without worries, and if at all possible move it to a clean empty container. I've used powders in old cans given to me with rust on the inside of the can. What I discovered with the first can is that pouring it out, then the remainder back...
