High Powder Prices

[CCrawford]

Just a little history for fun. This is the inside back cover of the 18th Edition Hodgdon Manual (about 1962).

I have 3 -1# cardboard cans of Hodgdon 4831 that have a "White Front" price sticker of $1.64. The powder smells new and it works just fine and I'm slowly using it up. I'm guessing the powder is from the late 60's to the very early 70's.

I still remember our phone number from back in those days too... OXford 83025. It was a 'party' line as well.

That surplus IMR5010 powder for .50BMG usually sells at around 10.00/lb these days.

I am going to print this out and take it to my local gun store and see if they will price match.
