What is the going rate per lbs of varget?
Searched PX but did not see anything regarding how much it is selling for.

Around $30 here in Louisiana. Can't find any H4350 here.
Around $32 a pound here in So. California. I've been finding H4350 on a regular bases here.
Last I saw of any out by Martinsburg it was ~$29 per pound. That being said I aint seen it in quite some time.
there is a lot where I am and it sells for 30 a pound. I have seen it in 8lbs jugs.
Sweet baby Jesus!
How much money do I need to start my own smokeless powder company?

28-30 a lb at local gunshows. nothing on shelves at stores.
Per a number of industry sources, given the current state of power availability, Hodgdon is not currently packing the high demand powder in the 8 pound containers, they are only filling the 1 pound containers. This is so they can more easily spread it around and retailers can "ration it out better".
If you find any 8 pounders, they were probably already in the system.
As such, I would not wait or spend a lot of time looking for 8 pounders, if you can find the 1 pounders you had probably better buy them for at least the immediate future.

if your in NE ohio pm me and I can tell you where there is at least 13 lbs
It was in stock at Midsouth for $21.36/lb earlier this week, I didn't order as I have a little.
I found some 3 months ago and it was 27.99lb
Must be a regional thing. I had a quantity up for trade here on the Hide last fall. Ended up trading 33 lbs. out and selling 15- 20 lbs more. With the trading considered I probably averaged a bit less than $20 a pound. I lost nothing, plundered no one and all partys were happy.
Just my take but I have found it near as easy to find larger quantities ( bulk, kegs ) as it is to find a quantity of smaller containers. Just have to be willing to tie up the $$$

A pound of Gold for a pound of Varget. 
I have 16lbs on the way from Powder Valley @ $23/lb. Sold 12lb to my coworkers for cost, keeping the other 4.
could someone please tell me where I can get at least 8lbs in SoCal...Ill drive or order online just need a minumum 8lbs if not more, Thanks!
I'd suggest getting on a backorder list. Any stock that is coming in is largely going to fill backorders. Small amounts of non-backordered Varget show up briefly then quickly sell out. The longer you wait on the sidelines waiting for it to become plentiful on the shelf, the longer you'll wait.
Hodgdon Varget*Smokeless Powder | MidsouthShootersSupply.com = 1 lb.
Hodgdon Varget*Smokeless Powder | MidsouthShootersSupply.com = 8 lb.
I ordered 16 lbs. 1-30-2013. It took several months for my order to fill, but I got it from MidSouth. They haven't raised their prices yet either.

San Jose ca for 28.xx a lbs
You mean they still make Varget? I haven't seen any in ages.
I get it for $23.75 a lb at our local store. Got 5 pounds the other day. Musta got a good deal..
$27.99 is pretty common.
I gave $23/lb a couple of months ago.
Tonight at a local gun show here in Des Moines, Iowa I was about the 20th person to get in the door and I went right back to the best powder guy there and got a 8# keg for $196 with tax and that comes out to $24.5 a pound. A guy right after I paid for it asked them if they had any more and they told nope that was all they had. Times are tough cause I didn't see anymore in the whole show. I also got 8# of h110 for my 300blk.
I would say on average about 27 to 31 per lbs... anything under 27 per lb is a kick ass deal!
Where on the gulf coast are you? I might let go of some for that price.
Ive just been getting on backorder lists and waiting it out. Order big to last you a long time.
Beaumont area, found some in stock the other day bout 22 miles west, too bad it was the day the Ice blast came through and they shutdown all the roads so i couldn't get to it >.<

Just called in to hold a pound in Houston. $36.00/lb! Get it while you can because it was 26.50/lb last year. It is hard to find but it is the difference between 1.5 and .5 moa in my .308 FN and Saiga both.
i can get it every day of the week for the low low price of $42 a lb
I just picked up a couple pounds at Cabela's the other day for $30/lb. They have been getting it in pretty regularly along with H4350, Benchmark, 8208XBR, and H322.
28-29 lb. I can get 1 and 8 lb canisters all day. I have 14 lbs or so and about the same of rl-15. So glad the shortage is over.
Sorry man, their is a lot of unmoral price rapers out there. Sorry man. You will find out who your friends are real fast though.
I heard thru the grapevine that it was going to be discontinued, but i have not verified this. Easy phone call to make tho,lol
I had seen Hodgdon was discontinuing a few powders this year but the list I saw didn't include any extreme powders. I hope they are discontinuing it!
It's about $27/lb here at my LGS in western WA - when it's actually there - and that's rare.
I haven't actually seen any Varget since the Creek, and the only vendor that had it wanted $280 for an 8 pound keg.
Varget is rare right now, so is CFE 223. I got two lbs of H4350 fr $32.95. Plenty of the IMR 4350 and R15.
So, I think some people need to have the record set straight since everyone assumes its gouging. First, there's a tier system for cost when purchasing from distributors that ranges from 1-5 with 1 being the best. That often means smaller shops pay a higher cost. Second, larger quantities are often allocated to larger corporations first which means that some shops are forced to only be able to purchase 1-8lbs at a time (more like 4-5). That means that often these shops pay a $27 hazmat and shipping for a small amount. Lastly, you now have overhead and to even see a 10% margin which sometimes doesn't even cover operating costs you're now stuck charging $40 a pound and $60 a brick just to break even but also get product on the shelf and to the customer. The distributors are the main problem. I saw one LARGE distributor that told a client they had to pay hazmat per every 4lbs.. You guys want to know why 22LR is hard to find in some small shops that never see it? it's because distributors are literally calling the buyers and offering 22lr ONLY if they'll purchase other items of less demand that they want to get moved out of the warehouse.
If anyone is interested I know a shop that has Varget, H1000, CFE Pistol, IMR 4350, IMR 4064, IMR 3031, RL25, and a ton of other powders & primers in-stock and he can ship. It won't be cheap but he has them if you can pay what he has to charge thanks to shady ass vendors.
I am willing to sell some varget, 40$ a lb with a minimum order of 5 lbs, buyer pays hazmat. Capitalism bitches!!
Do you have hazmat certification to ship?
yes.
