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.
AA#2 is not as readily available, Vihtavuori's are expensive, and HP-38 is not as fast a burner. I was wondering what you were loading with Bullseye as a mainstay.
