Just like the top says had a few pounds after I got some
Blackhorn 209. Black powder 'substitute'. Actually it come in 8 and 10 Oz (maybe 12 Oz too) containers but not 16 Oz.I feel so confused. It's like I should know what you are talking about, but I can't suss it out.
Wow $111.98 per pound so if you load 100 grains it would be $1.60 per shot.
Yeah, ouch. I just checked and my containers is 10oz, not 8. I guess smaller serving size and higher price.That $hit has gotten stupid expensive over the last couple years!!
lucky if you can even find primers now , much less 5 cents apiece .Yeah, ouch. I just checked and my containers is 10oz, not 8. I guess smaller serving size and higher price.
I got mine for around $30 a pop 3 years ago. Expensive for sure still. Fortunately, I don't tend shoot more than about 10 rounds a year. The only gun I own that I only pull out for hunting season, fire a few rounds and then put it away. As much as I load, that's about 75 cents a shot for what I had paid.
Of course add in the 28 cents a bullet on the 300gr .430 XTPs, and the 5 cents on each primer.
Of course, today it is like $1.60 for powder, 10 cents on a primer, 30-35 cents on the bullet. Oh and 5-6 cents per sabot for both.
About $2 a shot now, around $1 a shot back before the VID.
Sabots were 5 cents a piece. Not sure what they are now. I mentioned primers at 10 cents. Which seems to be around what they are. I think the 3 sleeves I got were around $20 for the 3 from a buddy right at the start of the pandemic since I was down to about 30 primers in one sleeve left and magnum 209s were no where to be found.l
