Powder Valley price hike

[deerhunter628]

I got an email from Powder Valley informing of a price increase on 01/15/2024. I just put in a pretty big order. It should get me by for a while. If there is anything you need you might want to order.

H1000 1 pounders were still in stock mid-morning.

 

[deerhunter628]

Still were a few minutes ago. I ordered 8

Good deal. I just got an 8 pounder locally last week, so no fees. It’s actually been coming in stock fairly regularly. Berger 215s are as well… for now.

Unfortunately i dont have a good place to shop for reloading supplies locally. By the time i pay for the fuel to get to a good shop its cheaper to pay the hazmat fee. I try to do a pretty big order when i do it to absorb that fee a little better.

Kinda weird how Vihtavuori powders are now on the low end of the pricing scale.

Thanks for the heads up, knew it was coming but wasn’t sure when. Ordered a supply of varget, h5350 and staball 6.5. Already got a h4831sc jug so that’ll feed my cartridges for a good bit to weather things.

Still need to find some reasonably priced WLR available.

Bought some from Mile High just yesterday!

Yeah, I had some cci lrp’s in cart early this morning…$153, nope. It says something that they were stock for quite a while compared to normal.

It sucks..but all the more reason to get a 223 if you like to shoot a lot. Pretty quickly a 223 will “pay for itself” vs shooting thousands of rounds of just about anything else. Small rifle primers are available and cheapest (just paid $70 a brick), .223 powder is cheaper ($275 for a jug of lever), brass and projectiles are also dirt cheap comparatively.

Basically 1/3 the cost of shooting my 6.5 creedmoor and arguably more fun/challenging at long distance

I was on their site this morning around 0910 mst and they had nothing for LR primers. Kind of odd too now that they have some, because I didn't get an email notice like I should have. I also checked last week when I ordered powder, and they had none. Tough to make it work though financially when they limit you to only 1 box.

yes, hazmat and shipping sucks when you can only get one brick.

Put it in your cart and login, see if you get sent a code for freeshipping (there will still be hazmat but anything helps).

Yeah I put in a powder order on Sunday and they had nothing for large rifle primers then, I called to ask if I could add onto my current order/hazmat, nope. Have to cancel and reorder to do that (and various powder prices went up).
