Thread: 2209 price rise

Just on the phone to H&F. The guy reckoned the next shipment od AR2209 would be in December and would cost 30% more due to a worldwide shortage of an active ingredient.

Should I be worried?

1 kg @$200 last price so another $60 is not pleasant.

Sports shop in Te Anau has 1kg for $189, and 2208

King and Henry in Masterton has 2x1kg @$209 ea. I've got H&F Masterton's last bottle set aside for me.

2.7 cents per grain. A 75 grain charge that's $2.02 of powder. load slower perhaps?or switch to black powder that's only around $75 for 500 grams

We pay a lot more for BP here.

Thanks for the heads up

was watch the Hornady pod cast on powder and they referenced paying $80 US a pound.

That puts it in perspective, $298 per kilo.

Last 2209 I bought was $189 from GC in Chch, their website ALWAYS seems to say "phone local branch to check availability".....maybe we should start making our own powder.................

Some of us do lol

Just had a look at the importers web site. ADI and Hodgdon powders are skinned. What the retailers have on hand is it until the next shipment.
