Anyone seen larger quantities of Benchmark around recently?

Most places in Western Ma that have been to have it. Nicks Sports in Palmer had at least 8 1lbrs about a week ago when I stopped in for I think $28, cant remember. I bought some H335, Benchmark, BE, Unique and a bunch of Titegroup from him.
 
and... around $25/lb I think. I haven't bought any in a while my 8lg jug I got at Shooters Outpost is still half-full ;-)

jtnf... that 1lb per powder type also has (had last time I was there) a 2lb total limit as well... they also limit primers if they are low.

I have been looking for over 6 months for some Hodgdon Lil'Gun... if anybody knows where there is a few #lbs my 500 S&W is waiting!

The last time I saw Lil Gun was at the Hooksett Bass Pro Shop back in October.

Rileys had that too. I totally punted when I was rushing home before the blizzard... Sorry guys.
 
I purchased W231 and WST today and have been getting a pound or two of each every week. $28.00 for W231 is not quite a gift I know but I bought it cause I wanted it.
Also on the shelf was Unique, Bullseye, Varget, Trailboss,and a few others. I was hoping for Titegroup and AutoComp but not today. I think the prices for powder have actually gone up a little in the last couple of months. If I go in knowing I'm going to pay more than I want I just repeat in my mind what I've spent on overpriced coffee the same day.

yeah but its about a 6 hour drive from Pidgeon Cove... so I'm working out transportation at the moment... = hazmat fees haha! The guy is super-cool but has few visitors. I have resorted to cold-calling for powder, yes I have.
 
Purchased 8 lb. jug of 231 at D&L on Friday ($149 + tax). They had 4 lb. ones too. Did not look for other powders but they seem to have plenty.
 
Al's in Derry has a ton of 231! 8# jugs for $160, saw at least 2 of those and about 10 1# jugs. Also Varget, Titegroup, HP38 and lots of rifle powders

I still have 2 unopened 8# kegs of Red Dot I bought about 15 years ago...the sticker says $29. We'll never see those days again.
