I went to a gun show today and was mainly looking for powder and bullets since I don't have a local supplier. I couldn't believe what I found. Hardly any of the dealers there had any black powder substitutes and the ones that did had it marked up about double the price I see if for in online stores. I would be willing to pay a little bit more at a show to keep me from having to pay shipping and haz mat fees on the powder but one guy was asking 31.50 for a pound of Pyrodex RS. I was also looking for some .44 XTPs and nobody had any. I talked to several of the vendors and they all said basically the same thing. Bullets and powder both are "harder than hell to get your hands on".

Is anybody else having trouble with this or is it just my geographic location? I want to shoot but am out of supplies.
