    Just bought some rifle powder

    I bought an 8 Lbs. bottle of H4350 (thanks Cypriss) this week and it's the first purchase of rifle powder (except for 2 Lbs. of AA 2230 that I bought for a new 458 Win Mag) since 2008.

    Right before the tragic National elections of 2008, I made a large purchase of gunpowder since I knew there would be a panic.

    Since the fall of 2008, I've loaded and shot:
    16 Lbs. of H4350
    15 Lbs. of BLC-(2)
    7 Lbs. of Reloader 15
    7 Lbs. of H4895
    3 Lbs. of IMR4064
    3 Lbs. of IMR4350
    3 Lbs. of H380,
    2 Lbs of H4831SC
    2 Lbs. of Accurate 2230
    2 Lbs. of IMR7828
    Partial Lbs. of H332, Win780 & Varget

    Over 60 Lbs. of powder in 6.5 years.

    I'm down to my last 1 Lbs. container of a lot of powders and ran completely out of H4350.

        Well I certainly hope you didn't store it in one area. Because that would be illegal! haha

          I think I just accidentally ordered 24lbs of Varget my self.

          Accidently kept pressing order and put in 3. So if I get (3) 8# containers angone want one? Lol

          Hopefully it doesn't happen. My GF is going to kill me

            Wait, if you kept pressing order, then is that three seperate orders? As in you will have to pay 3 seperate hazmat fees? That's going to rack up the bill quickly.

              What are you shooting? You can get a 1000 pistol rounds out of a pound with no problem, rifle maybe 250 a pound. How many primers?

                I can't remember how many 4lb 8lb jugs I've gone through since I started. I started reloading in '88. Shot more handgun loads than rifles. I remember buying WAP by the case. Shot 1k rounds a week. My paycheck from the military and part time job went to guns, ammo and shooting about 3-4 club matches a week.

                  $210 x3... Hopefully I can get a hold of them before they process it
