i know its a pain that the powder has gone up but its still a lot cheaper than factory ammo and more accurate loading my own.
Also if the powder goes up, does the factory rounds not increase in line with the powder??
Without curiosity, evolution would have been greatly flawed.....
Just been to my favourite reloading RFD and seen that this side of Christmas / New year that the price of Viht has gone up another £5 per tub, typically now £81.20 It was only £65 a tub last summer, I wonder what the price will be Christmas 2017?
Not sure what deals will be had on anything come the shooting show 2017 in 4 weeks time.

Maxom powder seems to be quite cheap...if you can find it. Why no powder production in the uk....

Just returned to Reloading after a 5 year break, set my bench up as weekend and checked my supplies. X2 tubs of H380 and x1 box of SGK. Thought to myself "I've powder for my. 243, and bullets for my. 308", so need to get some powder for the. 308 and bullets for the. 243. After checking prices I'm tempted to sell off the Reloading kit and buy factory ammo! What's happened in five years? The tubs of H380 have price tags of £23 and 165 SGK £19.99, good God I almost fainted with the price of powder and bullets.

It's not about hunting foxes, it's about the foxes RIGHT to be hunted
It has gone utterly crazy, the weak pound isn't helping but that can't explain all the price rises by any stretch.
The price of powder is NEVER going to go down is it!!! So instead of moaning about it find cheaper ways to shoot.
Cast boolits are as accurate as FMJ and take 1/2 the powder loads and will easily achieve 600 yard accuracy and more.
Thanks for looking
