I just paid $78 plus tax per pound for a couple of pounds of Varget at Ellwood Epps. (as of the time of the post they had 17 left if anyone is looking and willing to pay an elevated price) I tried to get 8lbs for $549 which is 68 per pound plus tax but it was gone before I could click purchase. (They had 1 left...I agree with being flexible with what powder you can acquire and not paying outrageous prices however inflation is crazy across the board right now, Us shooters will pay whatever price they can to acquire these powders and globally there are 2 major wars that may or may not be on the horizon. IMO I will continue to buy what I can within my personal financial plan and choose not to complain about prices of powder I can't even get right now. I have zero control over it and I wasn't reloading when Varget or H1000 was 30 bucks a pound!!
If you are referring to shooters south of the border they are paying $41.99USD per lbs for H1000. What is the current exchange rate on that?
Yes it does make it to store shelves.
