Oh how I would love to find an 8# keg of SR7625. ohiochuck, you are very lucky. I did find a 5# tin can of it a few years ago, but I'd like more. I know of no currently made powder that can match it for low pressure loads.

PB and SR 7625 were magical. I'd give body parts to have 8lbs of each!!

About five years ago I found a deal on PB and bought enough to load all my bismuth duck hunting load for the rest of my life, funny I did the same on 800x for my coyote loads and small game loads for my 222 Rem and 5.6x50R, never thought they'd be discontinued. But that's the story of my life, if it works for.me they're going to.discontinue it, boots, scopes, hunting clothes and bullets.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Slightly off topic but related. You think common reloading powders are expensive, take a look at Blackhorn 209 muzzleloading powder. This stuff has a going rate of $80 to $100 for 8oz's. Even at these prices for a half pound, it's impossible to find & usually sells out as fast as someone gets it in stock. Yikes! But why, when you can buy real blackpowder for a quarter of that.

Hey all, I was lucky to find the powders I use at a very decent price from a small gun store. They were priced at what the shop originally had them priced, no price gouging for a change
So, I'm set for powder for sometime.
I've got
10lbs 800-X
10lbs of Longshot
4lbs of PB
8lbs Promo
And some Green Dot
I did check on some shot and was shocked at the price of lead shot.....$65 for a bag of Magnum. Up around $20 from a year and a half ago. Have a couple bags on hand, but that won't last forever. Guess time will tell.
Stay well my friends

Hey all, kind of on topic. My son is into black powder cartridge guns and reloads for them. He also shoots muzzleloaders BTW
He makes his own black powder. It's not hard to to do and it works quite well. It compares very well with factory made black powder.
It costs him about $5-6 per pound.
