Powder seems to be selling for $32 to around $35 a pound in Tallahassee . Has any one found it for less than that lately ?

Nope. Same thing is happening to primers.

I tried to find some CCI military large rifle primers today. Best price in town was still almost $60.00 per thousand.

. . . I'll run Winchester "normal" large rifle primers first and just make dang sure the muzzle stays down range extra long after a shot. You know it would upset me terribly if my M1A slam fired about 19 times in quick succession. ;)

I don't think that price range is limited to TLH; I paid $35 for a can of 4064 at Bass Pro near Daytona recently. GA arms had rifle powders in the $26-32 range at the last gun show.

Wow. Powder valley has them, for $38. Hard to believe it is almost cheaper to just pay the hazmat for 1k then to buy locally.

Prices are better in Alabama but do not go often
