If you're only shooting a few hundred rounds a year you don't even need all that.

My local has ADI 500gm for circa $65 and $116 for the 1kg BM range of powder.
You have done extremely well to get 10kg for $800.

Yes, I'm well aware
I normally pay $375 for a 4kg bottle. He also gave me 5000 Winchester primers for $200. I don't use all that many Winchester primers but I couldn't say no at that price.

Have been thinking about purchasing some of those 168gn Z max myself mate. I did get some of the 178 ELDX when they were on special.
The Z Max are a great price at the moment.
