I was reading this morning that it's companies price gouging that is behind the inflation spike not wage growth like the gummint and companies like to pretend it is.
Pretty much a no brainer, I know, nobody's wages are rising except top execs, but the jump in profits has been obscene, particularly with banks and the 2 big supermarket chains.
Due to oligopolies in both, there is no longer a supply/demand influence on prices, they decide how much they can gouge and we have to suck on it.

I havebeen offered a 2kg container of AS50, unopened
I have seen this stuff up to $1200,
I know that shotgun powder is non existant, I just want to know a fair price

Because they may never sort out the issues with the new line they put in, which might mean having to put in another line again. I'm not sure our market is big enough for them to consider that expense viable.

It's ADI or nothing over here, as far as I can see, and there's little or no published data on how to load for some pretty popular rounds such as 357 magnum with the available powders. It's a strange situation. Powder is apparently becoming widely available in the US again.
