I have no clue about standard pricing on them as I use only loose powder but I personally would consider that a ridiculously high price. Since you use three at a time or most who use them do that would mean you're getting only 33 shots from that bottle and they are gonna cost you about 86 centers per shot just for powder alone. Add in the expensive saboted bullets folks use and you're well over a dollar per shot from a muzzle loader. To me that's outrageous.

It would  depend on how old they are as the shelf life is short. Plus I would think to have them shipped legally there would be a 20 dollar hazmat shipping so the person is getting 8.50 for the box. I would be leary

ok my mistake I thought you were ordering them from online. It is about 8 dollars more than paid here. I do not use them either I use loose to get more bangs for my buck and I can adjust my shots by 5 grain increments which greatly allows me to improve my accuracy. Just my personal preference

I have nothing much to add except that I, as the others that have commented, use loose powder. I can tailor my load for my chosen bullet much better, it is cheaper, and because I can tailor the load it is more accurate (and economical)....<><....:)
