    High Powder Prices



    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.

                Good luck with that. Let us know how it works out.
