Default Bye Bye Bullseye

This thread is not a criticism of Bullseye powder, but rather a bit of nostalgia. I started reloading in 1964 and my first powder purchase was an 11 ounce can of Bullseye for $1.80. Today, I used up the last of a 4 pound jug of Bullseye. I realized that I would not be replacing it because I have a robust supply of similar powders (AA #2, HP-38, VV N310 and N320). At age 75, a 10 year supply of powder may be beyond realistic. If I'm still shooting and reloading at 85, I'll certainly buy some more Bullseye!

Interestingly, Bullseye is cheaper now than it was in 1964 on an inflation adjusted basis. The price I paid then would be $20.67 per pound now and I see it advertised for $18.95. 8 pound jugs are available locally for $129.99.
