[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 670886, member: 28741"] That seems to be the going price out West here in Calif/Nev. at the retail outlets as well. Haven't bought at shows so can't say if they're cheaper. And you don't get much of a break per lb. if you buy an 8 lb either! I buy powder from 3 places and their prices always seem to be within about $1.00 of each other. They also seem to track when prices fluctuate on specific items. RCBS Rockchucker - in use for over 40 years on & off. Still produces very accurate ammo. RCBS grain scale; 1 kernel of Varget moves the beam! Let me tell you now, to utilize the potiential accuracy of your .308, you will likely end up trickle charging every round. I started out by just dropping charges and weighing every 5th one to make sure there was no drift. But when I got a really serious about accuracy I realized I needed to weigh every round. Some fine grain powders like 760 or 780 Supreme will drop very consistently, but extruded powders like 4350 or Varget vary more when dropped from a charger. Consistency is the key. After a while, you won't want to shoot factory ammo much anymore. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
