This was posted on the Texas Hunting Forums.

"Several of my dealers are raising their powder price by 15%-18% this week. I was trying to get some orders in before the price hike. Finding certain one's in stock has been hard. It's common to see price hikes of a few points every January. But a 15-18% increase in mid Feb? That sucks! Tariffs??"

I love how everyone now blames tariffs for price increases since the Covid supply chain excuse is now used up. Fuck all these vultures.

Is the covid supply chain excuse used up? Seems like some folks are still using it for prices and the lack of availability of some powders - 3 years later I don't understand why 8208 is still unobtainable.....

The gravy train is coming to an end so they got to raise prices one last time.

Let them price themselves right out of the market. $60-$70 a pound for some of these powders is absolutely bullshit. I barely load anything anymore, between powder prices and primers, I can buy factory ammo for the same or less depending on what it is and I don't waste a bunch of my time dicking with it. Hopefully more people start to feel that way and stop paying the ridiculous prices so these manufacturers have to come back to reality. I enjoy reloading and like to have stuff on hand to load if needed, but not if it's gonna cost me more to do so.

Damn they have benchmark in the $300s for 8lbs. Wonder if it's cheaper anywhere else?
