Stack it deep NOW only going to get very expensive

In my experience stacking it deep can lead to tossing it out later; unfortunately powder doesn't last forever.

I've had several containers of vihtavuori N1XX powders change color and develop a very acrid smell around the 10-12 year mark, whereas I've yet to have that issue with the hodgdon and alliant powders I use. I tried loading some of the "sour" Vihtavuori and besides smelling very weird after the shot the velocity/es/sd were all quite a bit different and very inconsistent compared to earlier data when the powder was fresh. All were stored indoors in the same location and conditions.

I do like to buy cheap and stack deep, but after having to toss that bad vihtavuori and then pay a second time to replace it, when it comes to N1XX series powders I try to keep only enough on hand for a 7ish year supply.

This reminds me, I need to check my inventory of N120 and N133 before the price increase...

The powder companies know just how to manipulate cuck gun owners. Their plan is going right on schedule.

Alliant Board: raise the prices to ridiculous levels & engage 1990s Harley Davison “false scarcity” model. Make sure to make customers feel lucky we sell them anything at all.

Cuck reloaders: Stack it deep boys! The end is near!!!!

Sickening……..

Varget 8.8lbs $401.75 at Precisionreloading (free hazmat with code Freehaz and no tax to FL) and Cci 450 $59.99 shipping is high at $25-$35



For anyone looking, they also have the cheapest Ive seen prices on FGMM 205M and 205MAR.... $79 and $89. And free hazmat + $20 shipping for 10k primers is really good!

5000ct 205M's from Mile High is $350 but $108 shipping!
 
I have no need for n160 as I have a bunch of 4350 and r16. But when the discounts get good, it still becomes tempting haha.

I'm not even sure I could even use it on the cartridges I shoot.
More usages for it than I could mention. I have tested NONE of them.

I know it's versatile and has many uses. But the one cartridge I could use it for, I have plenty or 4350 and r16 lol.

Pretty sure it won't work on grendel or 223. I have 308 as well but not sure it's good there either.

Dammit I couldn't resist. Best price I've seen on BR4 in a long time.
 
They probably got tired of idiots complaining about how the powder didn’t perform exactly like the “similar to” powder.
Only an absolute moron would demand reasonable standards of advertising claims in the gun industry, where lying and breathing are pretty much one and the same.
 
I clicked on several and only 1 I saw said similar to 2230. The rest just gave a single caliber and I'm assuming a max load. I haven't explored the site much but surely they could provide more extensive info???
They used to say "similar to" for every powder without having to click on that powder. This allowed one to scroll through the entire inventory know what they had a lot faster.
 
Is it me or has the thread slowed down a little bit in the last year?

Does this mean everyone has stocked up on everything they need or is it so bleak that there’s nothing even to post anymore?
I think its a combination of things, like you said ppl are stocked, there's only a few things hard to find, and prices. I also think there are a few other things that play into it but they would be more about your point of view about the current state of things.
