I don't know where you are buying your powder, but around here I see $24 to $29 a lb. I nearly had a stroke when I picked up a 4 lb jug of W231 and it was marked $100. Well that is $25 a lb. 231 has been my go to powder for over 25 years, so I bought the 4 lb, on top I have an old 3 lb can, and 2 1 lb bottles. I don't think I'll ever have to buy 231 again (I'm 76). I do load .32L, .38, .45, 9mm with it.
