Well that oughta do it

Being that Alliant powder is becoming scarcer, I decided to spring for 8#'s of Bullseye. Those who use it know a pound goes a long way, so 8#'s goes a really long way

If nothing else I can barter a pound for a pound of other powders.

↓ That is a lotta Bullseye!

Yep,, that should last quite a while,, unless you really shoot a lot.

A few months back,, I got (2) jugs,, 8 lb'ers. of 2400. I can relax for a year or two.

Maybe I shouldn't admit this but I used to buy rifle powder in 32# lots. I don't shoot that much these days so have to maintain a stable storage environment for the stock I have. Storage is IMPORTANT.

But what will ya do after you've loaded the 14 thousandth round & the jug is empty?

Yeah, back during the China virus I stumbled across an 8 pound jug of Titegroup at list price. Now, that's more than I would use in my lifetime (I use a lot more 231, Bullseye & Unique than Titegroup), but I figured a shooting buddy would want half, so I bought it. Guess what? He wasn't interested in any of it (let alone half). After thinking about it for a while, I brought it in to my favorite FFL, still factory sealed, and he took it off my hands for what I had in it.

Eight pounds is a lot of fast powder! But it's also likely to go up in price, so not a bad investment! (Kind of wishing I had kept that big jug of Titegroup!)

As always IMHO, FWIW, YMMV, etc.

I guess I'll have to tap in to my other 3#'s LOL

My understand is what dealers currently have on their shelves will be all there is for a long while, or forever. Alliant powders seem to be running out.

I have a few lbs of 2400, and W 296, 1lb Unique, and 1 lb of Universal. Less than a pound of Red dot, 4227, Blue dot and Alliant #5. That should do me the rest of my life, if I continue to shoot as I am now.

If I ever get to the point I can retire, I’ll swing by and help. At the rate I’m reloading, I should still have plenty of powder to bring along.
