Powder Valley sells the 5# can for 176 if you get 4 then Hazmat and all it comes to 724. Thats 20 pounds ought to last all year.

If you are going to buy from Powder Valley then it is best to wait for their 10% programs. They run a few throughout the year. 10% off the entire order. There will probably be one around Thanksgiving time. The last one was the fourth of July(that I know of).

It is best to plan your component purchases. You can save some big bucks if you do. Tom.

He buys from a large powder distributor who travels through our area once a month. And that distributor needs a lead time for all special orders.

I bought two 5# cannister's of Trail Boss last month. I am stocking up heavy on powder. I believe powder is going to really get dificult and expensive to buy in the near future. That is because I think Obama is going to get re-elected. So I have been hoarding components. I might even call him back and add a second 5# cannister of BH-209. It stores well. Tom.

Why would you do that? If you buy 5 pounds from Carlos, it will cost you $137 TYD.

Muley you might want to re-check your math. Tom.

You must mean you get 5 actual pounds. Not Western Powders version. Ok, that's different. I think of 5 pounds as 5 bottles. That used to work before BH came along to screw us. They didn't have the guts to put it in a smaller bottle.

I have used BH in all my guns no problem at the range. I also have seperate breech plugs for each gun marked for BH use only. I am first a bow hunter but the smoke poles come out a few days a year. So shooting is done for fun and swabbing is not a issue. My hunting loads used in all my guns is 777 loose-dont have to worry about ignition problems(which no one brought up). One powder that had a very nice write up in PETERSON'S was Alliant Black MZ. Once i find some i will be testing it soon. I was wondering if anyone else read the article.

Does Carlo's TYD price include hazmat? If it does I could see getting several pounds to play with.

Dave that is the total to your door - I am not sure how the HazMat is being handled. But he must have found a loop hole...

hazmat fee is built into his TYD fee. He ordered 500lbs the last time he ordered. He goes through it pretty quick.

Well I am going to have to call that man tomorrow.
