Thanks. Do you know if local stores carry it? Not sure I need that much powder at the moment. Only loading for a 26 Nosler. Figured a pound or two would be plenty for now.

At 80ish grains per load that’s only 87 rounds......

Yeap. If you're serious enough to buy all that reloading equipment, a big jug of powder would be a reasonable purchase, too. Twenty to 25 rounds to figure out powder charge. Another 15 or 20 to get it dialed in. If you go trying different bullets, there's another big wad of the powder gone. A pound won't last very long.

Found it at Trainer Hale. $28 a pound. Easy enough as it’s right down the road and no HazMat fee [emoji106]
That's over $30/lb. with tax.
An 8lb. jug is $18.75/lb. including HazMat.
That's a pretty big spread per round. $0.21 vs. $0.35
It's your money, but you'll be done with 1 lb. bottle that pretty dang quick. If you don't want to shoot much, you'll have a couple of boxes worth left after load development. Your load might also need a little tweaking with a different lot of powder.
