Wow, what a price...I assume that's a "walk-in" price.

My ordered cases delivered to my house have been $8.90/Lb, then 9.50/Lb...then 10.30/Lb just a couple months ago.

Yeah, it's "walk-in"  and it's bulk, two bags in a cardboard box but I don't have a problem with that, I still have plenty of left over cans.  He has cans if they're needed.

$6 a pound??? Can this be true???

 :shock:

I have to drive for two hours just to pay $14 a pound!  Life is unfair. :(

I hate to admit it, but with the price of gas, after my stock runs out, I am going to switch to Pyrodex from Wally-world.

Hey Butler, what type of bags are they??  Do they seem to be moisture proof, etc?  I see the bags as a purchase option from the mail order companies and myabe thats the way to go.  Specially at $6.00 a pound!  Add in the $20 hazmat and it's still under 7 a pound before shipping.

The bags are heavy plastic and well sealed.
I've tried to juggle the numbers everyway possible and it's the only way I can keep shooting the amount I want.  I'm running 4 pistols and two rifles in 45 colt, 2 45-70's, two shotguns and three muzzle loaders.  There is no way I can keep them going at current prices.  This is my only acceptable option, the only other course is to shoot less!!!   :evil:

I wasn't aware of that! :shock:

The goex the past few years is supposed to be greatly improved.  I used it in a match last month and shot my usual crappy scores with it so it just may be as good as Graf :)

The Wano is the same stuff but who stocks it??
