Pistol powder is starting to trickle back

[jaysouth]

Bass Pro had Red Dot on sale for about 4 hours earlier this week.  A-H in Nashville has Tightwad and Titegroup in 4 and 8 pounders.  Also 700X in pound jars.

Did you notice Bass Pro's price on IMR powders?

At the Bristol store 3031 was over $30.00 a pound. That's just price gouging.

Stopped at Franklin Gun Shop in a random outbreak of stupidity... Titegroup $30/lb, most other stuff $35/lb. That makes powder charges roughly 4-9 cents a round, depending on load and caliber! Geez!

If you want to see deliberate stupidity ... Check out Benton Shooters Supply. Best stocked store in TN.

50+ /lb for Varget... 250+ for 8lb of W748

I waited and paid msrp shopping on line.

I walked in and looked around several months ago while motorcycle riding up that way. I saw real fast why they are the best stocked store. Any person with just a little common sense will look at the prices and walk back out the door.

I too stopped by Franklin Gun Shop earlier this week and almost had a heart attack and I didn't even make it to the reloading rack. I actually walked in and had 3 different employees say Hi and asked me how I was doing. I have been in there 3 or 4 times and that is the first time I have ever had someone acknowledge my presence. Just for that I purchased some Titegroup and half way to the counter another employee stopped me and started talking about the powder. I thought I was on a hidden camera show. I was pleasantly surprised.

If you go visit Butch at A-H, you will be happy with his prices.  Whatever you do, do not tell him how much powder is selling for elsewhere.

 

He gets $26.99 for IMR and Hodgen pound containers.  8 pounders of what he has are right on $200 give or take a couple of bucks.

 

Bass Pro had limited selection on line for IMR and Hod.  $31.99 per pound.  Emphasis on limited.

They probably caught on that operating a gun shop like "dicks last resort" doesn't work.... Or maybe the guy from "the profit" took it over.....
