Man I’m going to have to pass on it. I’ve stocked up on 8lbers of H4350 , Superformance , Hybrid 100V and N560 to last a long time. By the time I burn thru all of this the price might be more affordable.

pre pandemic 17 was going for about 48.00 a pound. Adjusting for average inflation since then, $61.00. I guess that’s fair enough.

The last time I bought RL-17 was $23.00/lb from Brownells with their $0.01 shipping/hazmat. They used to run that deal a lot back in the day.

That would be a good deal.
I already have 14 lbs of the stuff bought it during the Gander Outdoors door closings first paid $23 a pound then the last days of store opening paid $18. If I knew back then what I know now I would of clean the whole shelf off of the reloder powders they had 15,17,22 in stock.

All I can say is that my income didn’t go up 27% since 2018-‘19.
All this begun with the increase in wages, then more during Covid. Now Starbucks workers are getting paid an average wage of $30 per hour and they are ready to strike for more pay!?!
When you have to pay for higher wages, the prices go up, and if unchecked, it will never end. Nor will the price of what things cost.
Decades of Bank interest rates making pennies. I remember when Commerica came about and offered 14.5% interest rates, plus an additional 2% if it was over $25K in deposits. I lived more like a King throughout the ‘80’s and’90’s….. then the Dot Com bust for three long years, 2008-‘09 recession, interest rates were going to zero ten years later, and still nothing.
The old saying was cash is King, not anymore. But the price of gun powder had it been a commodity that could have been invested in would have paid off big time since 2019!
Unfortunately it has a twenty year shelf life and if your house burns down it’s not like a stash of Gold that would have survived!

Wow. Great score. Actually fairly reasonable
I scored 8lbs a few months ago from I can’t remember where but was happy to have it. I’ve loved the stuff since Mike started using it and having so much good luck with it.
