Price per Kg seems the same to me last time I looked.
Some of the European powders are up there on price though.

Hodgdon being USA is sold in Imperial weights eg 1lb, 4lb, 8lb. 1lb = 454 grams.
In the way back past, when Serious Shooters was one of the few stocking Hodgdon the prices for Hodgdon 1lb was almost twice that for ADI 500grams. I could never understand why anyone would buy the Hodgdon product except maybe for the powders that Hodgdon market which are not rebadged ADI.

European powders are mostly metric. I say mostly as I have one can of Vihtavouri VVN550 which is 1ld. I can only guess that it was packaged in 1lb for the American market as was imported via there. All my other VV powders (N110, N140) are in metric weights.
