I gave up waiting for powder to make it to the shelves near me and ordered 4 lbs, two lil gun and two h110 from Midway. After tax, shipping an hazmat it came to over $180. Now I'm sitting here waiting on the UPS driver, he normally comes by around 6 pm.
I caved and ordered some powder

The more powder in the order, the more pounds among which to split the shipping and hazmat.
A few years ago I would put in orders at Powder Valley that would be 45-48 pounds total.

With no powder available locally, and hearing on this forum that HP-38 could be bought directly from the manufacturer, and checking to see that it was really good for all my handgun calibers, I bought a bunch of pounds for $37 each.
At the rate we're going, in a few months that $180 might not even fill your gas tank!

If you know about Zip and Enforcer,
it might be time to try a new brand of powder, if it is just for target shooting.
Thank you for that post.

Smart move. If you're going to use the powder and enjoy shooting, it's only a few more dollars in furtherance of a worthwhile endeavor.
Although I am not currently in need of components, I pick up a little here and there when I find em at what I think are reasonable prices. For instance, I picked up a total of 6 sleeves of Federal LPP Match at the SW in Cedar City, UT, @ $6.50 each - 4 sleeves one day, two the next. It all adds up.
If you need it, get when you can. I missed a chance at some IMR4198. Waited one hour too long. Hopefully there’ll be some more……..

Natchez has IMR 4198 in their ads today...?
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Thanks. Picked up 2# at almost $60.00/lb after hazmat, shipping and taxes. Not inexpensive…….

A couple of places online have either HP38 or W231 in stock. I keep putting it in my cart, looking at the total, and removing it.
I'm down to my last 2 pounds. I need to just buy it.
Primers can be found locally at $10 - $12 a sleeve (limit 2).
Luckily, I was driving past a Sportsman's Warehouse on a road trip an picked up 4 sleeves for $5 each.

I just ordered 8 lbs of 231 from Powder Valley. I was far from out but dropping below my comfort stock level. I learned that lesson long ago. I use a lot of it so I keep it on hand
