Shit I’m at .60 for 308 and .42 for 5.56, 8 lbs of tac, or varget is over $200 up here. The places that sell in bulk up here are almost a dime higher per rnd.

The cost of Varget has risen significantly. I was told it is because it is made in Australia and imported. I have around 8 x 1lb cans put away that I paid less than $20/lb for. I like it because it is not as affected by temperature changes as I can wind up shooting in anything here from below zero to 100+ degrees. I'm running some British surplus Radway Green powder which is the equivalent of IMR 4895 that I bought for $80/8lbs and actually uses the same loading tables as the IMR 4895. |

Part of it is a exc order bush jr penned and zero enforced, basically powder must be shipped by barge. There can only be 400lbs on a single vessel, and it must be broken up into 100 lb pallets placed on each corner. Problem is politicians don’t know the difference between how smokeless powder reacts to fire compared to how black powder reacts to fire. It’s all the same to them. But black powder is still under $20 for a pound and now smokeless is between $25-$35 per pound. I used to be able to order it from powder valley, but because of the crazy transport rules he doesn’t ship it up here anymore. So now I’m stuck buying from sportsman’s whorehouse, or AK ammo who are more expensive than sportsman’s. The only way to get loaded ammo close to your guys prices is to buy it by the pallet, better have partners otherwise it’s $10’s of thousands by yourself. |
