I have been looking out for 8208 for ages, due to the stuff up that was Winchester taking over distribution, my local ammo bloke could never get the stuff so while in an ammo shop on the weekend I find some and said I will take some before even asking how much.......1kg $116...... bastards!

It's been a while since I bought powder but is that about the going rate or was I ripped?

at my lgs 2208 was $59 ? @ 500g.
regardless,im getting more come pension day.
i aint running short again.... [if i can help it]

That's a bargain mate , my lgs wants $140 for the same tin

just checked the receipt.. $55 plus credit card charges.

that's ok as the 8208 is 1kg and the ar stuff is 500g then a good country price is $55

most of the fine grained powder is a few dollars more per 500g bm1 bm2 8208 but

the ar2219 is the same price as the bulky stuff .

I found 4kg of 2207 for a shade over $300 a couple of weeks back. It's now in my locker, so I'm right for a bit.....

If you can get powder in the 50/60 dollar range @500 grams it is about average over here. I have little choice as LGS are a bit scarce. You get little to no discount if you buy 500 or 4kg.

Ok by the sounds of it that's about the rate! it's been so long since I bought some I can't remember now I much I used to pay.

Closest gunshop to me wants over 65 bucks per 500gm tub for the usual stuff, too scared to ask for stuff like BM and the like, he wonders why the pro shooters dong get much from him.

the guy i get powder off sells 500g for around 60 and the 1kg was around what you quoted. He sells the 4kg for $360-380, i just paid for it.

I grabbed the last two 1kg bottles from Safari a couple of weeks back @ $119/kg

and i bet he dosen't see the prob .

I think the last time I bought powder was 4 or 5yrs ago now, I'm going to be in for a hell of a shock the next time I roll up (Probably another 5yrs from now) to buy some by the sounds of it!
