IS $295 to much for 4kgs of 2206?
As the title says, is that a bit steep for a discontinued line?
and is $47 a bit rich for a 500g bottle? or am I just a whinger?

$47 is to steep when you think the same powder is shipped over seas, re packaged and sold cheaper than we can get it here
But thats what the shops charge and if we want it we have to pay.
What are you going to use the 2206 for?

G'day Thomo, I have a nice load for the .223 with 50g Vmax's. I thought it (2206) was all gone but the LGS has one 4kg and half a doz 500g bottles, so I thouhgt while I can still get it I'll keep using it. It wasn't that much last time though.

I pay $45 at my LGS and between $38 to $40 else where . That's for current lines as 05, 06H, 08 & 09. It's only going to get dearer.

Knackers, you've got your own range, own benches and time to shoot. Stop buggering around and try the BM2!!!

We are being hit $44 for 500 grams of ADI powders.I can get vitavourhi delivered and pay the $20 freight and come out ahead if I buy several of the 1 kg cans.I try and stock up when ever I go to Sydney or Canberra.
