just when i was getting used to no primers, now no powder...

Varget was more expensive for whatever reason. I overpaid for the CFE BLK (which is available right now from the manufacturer), but I figure it's worth it since ichave no shipping or hazmat and I just want to test it out.
The CFE pistol is for a friend who will pay me back.
Surprised that there wasn't anyone there for the powder when I got there. They advertised it well online.

Nice grab & I'll take unless DW is running thin on powder. I just poured the dregs out of a jug and will be cracking the seal on my last one.
Besides, Mrs. Mountain has been bugging me for a North Shore day trip. I'm beginning to wonder if she has a crush on this guy:
You got the last one! I just went to check and it’s sold out now! I’m down to my last 40lbs of it and will need more eventually if neither of them want it, lol.
I still owe @Mountain $1 from when I sold him an 8lb’r last year for $195...he gave me $200 and I only had $4 in loose ones on me! Hopefully he’s not collecting interest?
Though I haven’t received an email confirmation yet. My CC was hit and it shows up in my order history. I’ll keep you posted.Nice grab & I'll take unless DW is running thin on powder. I just poured the dregs out of a jug and will be cracking the seal on my last one.

And yes you need to come back to Glosta!
I got a notification for it but didn’t check until 5ish min later and somehow snagged it
Damn 40 pounds.
i HAD over 50# of just Varget until I realized that might be a little more than I needed currently and decided to check w/the boys back behind the iron curtain.
I mentioned in another thread last week that I caught a national CMP record holder just as he was getting out of high power last year and I bought over $1300 worth of powder like a week after the Covid lockdowns in NE Indiana. That $1300 worth of powder probably could have made me a small fortune in the past year, but THAT coupled with my healthy supply of pre-Covid primers has given me freedom to not have to buy ANY components through all this unless I find something at a decent price (found some RL 17 for my 7.5x55 reloads a few months back for $30/lb).
my basement is stocked like a powder house currently and I’ve spent my dough on magazines and suppressors at ‘normal’ prices since everyone else was freaking out buying guns/ammo/components at inflated prices.
Great, I'll take it since I'm down to the last one- assuming the valley girls ship it to @andrew1220 . I grew up about 40 minutes north of the Valley, and can attest that they like their powder.
I’ll keep you posted. It says “processing hazmat” so I think we’ll be good.Great, I'll take it since I'm down to the last one- assuming the valley girls ship it to @andrew1220 . I grew up about 40 minutes north of the Valley, and can attest that they like their powder.

Just grabbed an 8# of "Shooters world precision" powder from a well known vendor. Supposed to be very similar to Varget, and a little less pricey.
Could only check out with 1 (tried to get 2), total was $245. Not bad in today's climate.

You've had over a year to lay in a good supply of powder and you didn't!!!.
Shame on your. Ha. Just busting your stones.
The the Vid first hit, I had plenty of primers. But was down to just one extra 8 lb jug of pistol powder. So last November, I went looking for TiteGroup. I thought I was behind the curve. But there it was. In stock at #$#@#$$$. I couldn't believe it.
Its times like this that I'm grateful that I have a place in CT where I can store my reloading supplies.
Sorry to bust your stones. But you had SO LONG to decide to buy some.

I'm good, thanks, I do appreciate the offer.
I put some effort into looking for powder after I started this thread, and I've got about 12 lbs of TiteGroup on my shelf right now. My standard load is 4.0 grns, so approx 1750 loads per pound. I've got a couple of pounds of Accurate#9 for the magnum loads. I've got brass and bullets, plus a "reasonable quantity" of primers - so I'm good for pistol loads for maybe another year, plus??
I'm currently collecting components for 20GA. Have the hulls and wads; I know where I'm getting lead shot. I picked up a couple bricks of primers, (1 SPP, 1LPP), last week from a friend, (for pre-pandemic prices), and he says he'll have 209s before I go home. I'm starting to look for powder - probably 20/28 or LongShot.

That is interesting, didn't expect to hear powder availability was worsening (I'm well stocked now). I only joined the reloading ranks late last year, and outside of Dillon dies, have been fortunate to get everything I've looked for without too much trouble.
