Graf's now has Perfect Pattern at $300 a jug.
This represents a 42% increase in total since the stuff was first introduced about 2 years ago. Other Hodgdon powders have also seen a sharp increase.
Graf's has always been a fair supplier, and were one of the few to not screw us over during the primer shortage of 15 years ago so it's not their fault.
In fact, they and Natchez have been running low cost or free shipping and free haz on and off for some time now. This tells me their products are not exactly flying off the shelves now that some of it is back in stock.
Shooting is in general down, partially due to the cost.
This latest valentine from The Powder Trust will not help our sport or our clubs survive.
