I looked around there CT and tried to find the shipping and Haz Fee but I didnt actually add anything to a cart. Thats probably why they still have some. Agreed thats a little on the gouging side.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Thanks for the link, Al. I've never used 2400, but since so many members like it (a lot), I checked it out. With shipping and the HazMat fee, the cost for a four pound container is about $38 per pound. Too much. I'll look for it locally once I can and do get back to shooting again.

spent some time organizing and packing our portable loading equipment and supplies for our summer trip out west .... everything but the powder is pretty well packed .... to maintain a steady temp, we won't pack it until just before we pull out

Just finished loading 200 rounds .357 in 110 grain and 158 Grain Hornady XTP. They are broken up into 6 sets. Half are 110 are over Bullseye, the other half over Unique, same thing with the 158s. I want to Chrono different loads in the blackhawk and El Patron and Henry.

I really like 200 gr lead and 7.0 gn of Universal. That might be my favorite target ammo in both pistol and rifle.
