PSA Powder at Cabalas

Last Saturday I aided my wife with real-estate in Calgary and stopped in at Cabela's. I purchased one pound of H-4350, with tax it totaled $89.25. The high price in one thing, moreover, I hate going into big cities. I could of purchased more of that powder, however I left it for the next handloader.;)
 
We might see it come down to $60-70 or so someday but I don't think we'll ever see 35/lb again.

I only paid 100k for my house, realistically only worth that today. If I listed it for $600k it would close in less than a week for $100k more, and the buyer would call that a win
My first new car was under $11k, can't hardly buy a beater for that now! Even though I was probably only making $8/hr at the time it doesn't scale anywhere close to what a car costs today!

Higginson had a few of the more popular powders in stock a month or so ago and sold them darn quick for $60ish/lb

Unfortunately inflation is not transitory.

Hope you got the correct powder this time Dan!

LOL in what decade? It’s been a very long time since powder was $35/lb

I was buying titegroup, bullseye, unique, H110, HS6, trail boss and black powder all for under $40/lb within the last two years in Alberta. Maybe rifle powders were more expensive?

Ah, that could be. I don’t follow prices on those. But for H1000, H4350, Retumbo, etc. it’s pretty consistently been $50+ for 5yrs and $60+ for 2yrs. The $80+….. that’s new.

That explains it. Interesting times that we live in for sure. I picked up some Varget at $70/lb a few months ago for the 223. Everything is crazy now.

Most rifle powders like Varget, H1000, Retumbo, etc. are more expensive. Certain rifle powders like CFE223 are the exception.
 
Wow! $85 is something to be excited about?! Just last year I was buying powder weekly as it arrived at Cabelas and Canadian Tire for $50-$55 a pound. A good 60% jump in a single year!
