There was a 22cal breech loading black powder gun made in the 70s. It had a rotating turret action that had separate chambers in which you loaded with black powder and seated a buckshot pellet on.The gun was fired by a toy gun paper cap
Has Goex gone to the cost of gold?

Y' know, I try to for the most part. Like I can ignore idiots selling overpriced SKS or Marlins. Like bearhunter said, the market will usually sort them out. But sometimes blatant greed just pisses me off so much I can't let it go. Yeah, it's a me problem I know. I'm not perfect either.OR ... you could just mind your own business and NOT buy his overpriced powder?
I'll never understand the compulsion to moralize to a stranger over something that does not involve you at all?

I guess old guys on pension will have to start enjoying their shooting sports with homemade slingshots and use those empty Goex cans as targets.
I used to go through 2 cases a year when I was shooting a lot of long range matches down south. At those prices that'd be over $400 a month not including lead/tin of course. I think at that time I was paying maybe 25/lb for Swiss, so still a considerable monthly expense with the twice weekly practicing.
I never did break the total cost down because most of the time I'd be spending more on gas going on long road trips to matches. The furthest I went was Ben Avery which was about a 3000 mile round trip IIRC.
Locally I can still get Swiss, but the prices are pretty terrible. $72.50 per lb at Rusty Wood Trading. Cost at Buffalo Arms including exchange would be around $52 lb.
At the prices we pay it'd be hard to remain competitive with the American shooters.
Nowadays I'm shooting my schuetzen rifles more and with a 32-40 or 38-55 and I can get 400-500 shots out of a pound of IMR-4227.

What someone asks for their own property is nobody else's business.
I listed a vintage motorcycle for what I hoped was a reasonable price. It was certainly less than I had into the thing. Some self righteous guy called me a "thief" for it. Never could figure that one out.

It’s a free market, I’m with you there.
I see the other side though, nothing is more frustrating in a free market than people artificially turning it into a stock market by skewing the availability unnaturally in their own favour.
Nothing you can do though, just roll with it and look out for yourself.

My favourite on this whole Hording and buying stuff to try and make a profit. Primers guys were trying to sell them for stupid money they bought up everything available and most are now stuck with what they stocked. I over paid for large rifle primers when we started getting the genix primers instock but it was a hell of a lot cheaper then what guys were trying to sell them for on gp or even EE. I have a smallish stock now will last me a while. I also ended up buying powder from gunshows and a estate I’m stocked up for a while on some things that way too.
