What the heck, H4895 is now $180 for 8lbs?

Saw an announcement of 2017 price increases at a very well known powder retailer, perhaps on Facebook. With the recent departure of the greatest firearms, ammo & reloading salesman of all time, maybe there will be a drop in hoarding or demand someday. That well known retailer still talks about limits per customer but now allowing backorders on the web page.
I stocked up in a big way before the great salesman was elected president back in '08, looks like it was the right thing to do. |

I stocked up in a big way before the great salesman was elected president back in '08, looks like it was the right thing to do. I believe I saw the announcement you're talking about. If I remember correctly, the increase was going to be about 14%. Seems like its true. |

It went from $168 to $180. That's an increase of 7.5%. How can they justify that? My cost of living raise was only half that much. I guess they figure they're in the ''elitist'' crowd and are overdue for a bigger payday.
I'm glad I got the four 8 lbers in July. It should last me a few months  .
H-4198 went up the same amount too. Let 'em sit on all of it for awhile. |
| Makes me mad too, probably still not keeping up with demand, perhaps planning on investment somewhere, they are somewhere on the curve and in the market where price wants to go up still. Maybe still passing on some costs of government, with any luck Trump can reduce some of that. |

around here it's been $25 to $30 a pound ever since it came back in any quantity
I can still get CFE pistol/223 for around $18/$19 lb at the gun show yesterday even the cfe was $20+ lb and others over $30lb I'm just stocking up on factory ammo now, that seems to get cheaper every day |
Feeling pretty dumb for only buying 1 8lb jug of WC844 when they were $90. 
At least I stocked up on primers when PVI was selling out of Wolf for $15.50/k The lesson here is when you see a real screaming deal you need to buy enough to last you 20 years. The stuff will keep if you store it properly. |

I am seeing Varget and XBR for about $180/8lbs too, I found ARCOMP for $150 and thought I hit the lottery. If TAC works for you Wideners has it for $149/8, I know this is a tech thread so I do not want to turn it into a were to find . . . I have had good luck with Ramshot TAC over a wide range of weights. |
