Outrageous gun powder prices at Bass Pro

[whatfor]

Wanted to get some H110 at the Markham Lebaron store (listed at $24.72 per pound in their catalog) but they were sold out. Went up to Bass Pro and paid over $36. I also noticed a lot of their hunting accesories are 50% more expensive.

Hasn't been any powder anywhere for a while now @$25. Most $32-39 anywhere I look.

I paid over $30 for hp38

 

[wcat]

H-110 is a cheap powder, listed 23.50 at Higginson's

 

[broncoo]

al the local places here are between $35-40 per lb

 

[noneck180]

I have never paid less that $27 a lb..usually more than $35

WSS in Calgary is typicaly 8 to 10 bucks cheaper than bass pro for powder. I have bought it at bps only when in desperate need and wss was out of stock.

So you buy at BPS all the time then?

Bass pro sucks in general.

I am more used to paying less than $30. I bought H4198 last week at lebaron for under $29.

All of the H and IMR powders are less than $30 at the Calgary WSS. Problem is finding them in stock. If you think these are expensive, don't look at the Alliant stuff.

OP, I have to admit that I bought 1 lb of IMR-4350 at Bass Pro for their extortionate price simply because I needed it for load development and no one else had it. I will try very hard to avoid doing that again.

Only had to twice so far. I always keep an eye on the powder board at WSS. If they have a powder i use frequently I buy a couple pounds weather i need it or not.WSS is 10 minutes from my house BPs is almost an hour so I avoid it as much as possible.Next time I'm there I will enquire with a manager as to why the powder is 30% more.

Lots of their stuff is 30% more than elsewhere. Their scopes are pretty outrageously priced from what I have seen.

I was visiting Ontario this summer past and decided to pop into Bass Pro. I was quoted a price of between $65 and $75 bucks for a brick of primers. Their prices on reloading supplies are out to lunch.

I picked up a pound of Varget at Shooters Choice in Waterloo just because I was in the area and was out and my bill was $42 and change.

 

[dogzilla]

Bass pro quoted me $7/100 for winchester small pistol primers a couple of weeks ago. I'd learn to make my own before I'd pay that.

 

[sevoman]

Prices seem to be coming down in the US for primers and powder(Ive seen CCI primers for US$130/5K) and inventory is up.Hopefully the same will happen here in Canada and we will see the end of price gouging and $7/100 primers!

 

[Antoine22]

$7 per 100 primers, $42 for a pound of Varget? That's a robbery. Might as well buy factory ammo.

Agreed, all you have to do is shop around a bit it all can be had for much cheaper else where...I buy in bulk once or twice a year, the last pound of Varget I got was $28.50...

Bullets are not any better, when I was in there the TSX's I wanted were $35/50 overpriced, so I didn't buy them, I guess thats why thy have stock. They seem to be like every other sporting goods store, there are things they have at a good price to get you through the door, but obviously for Bass Pro, reloading components are not one of them.
