Crazy. I have 4 big tactical matches coming up all within a 3 month period and may run into supply issues for powder, but I would NEVER pay over retail for something.

I cannot believe people are going this nuts, amazing how fear can control so many to make crazy decisions.

Re: Crazy for powder
People are crazy. I've been watching for Varget in stores, since I'm down to two pounds, and heading toward the shooting season. But, I'd sooner shoot something else than pay $112.50/lb!
If nothing else, this kind of panic over our current situation (in which powder hasn't even become a threatened item) should demonstrate to everyone just how scarce supplies of any kind would become in a real disaster.

Yep, lean supply chain is not good when things go wrong.
luckily i set myself up after the last panic so I can shoot matches for 2 years without needing a trip to the store. The last few orders I was debating if I should spend the money or wait. I am damn glad I did now.

Re: Crazy for powder
I seen an auction in 09 after the stupid started where a buyer payed over $800 for an 8 pounder of Varget. Maybe it is the same guy who was getting low and bought another. His thinking, "shit it hasn't went down since I bought the last jug"!!!! LOL
The slow learners get no sympathy from me!

Wait . . . where was this auction? I may need to find some suckers, I hear they are born every minute.

This is the direction I am going. N160 sure looks good. . .especially with the "in stock" indicator right beside it.

Holy crap. At those prices I could probably fund the purchase of an AI off of .22lr ammunition!
Seriously, this currently market situation is a bit unbelievable... all in the period of a month, too.

Re: Crazy for powder
At this point I think I would start to look at load development with another dam powder. It sure is nice to look at the 1,000 rounds I have loaded already and components for a few more K. Where are all the boy scouts "be prepared"?
