Powder is the cheapest thing in this wonderful sport/hobby and its come nearly 10,000 miles by sea to get here. One thing also to keep in mind is that in Australia the minimum wage is $23.23 per hour for a 38 hour week, in the USA its $7.25 per hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Ouch! Just for reference, before all this supply mess started, i was paying about $118 for an 8 lb jug of Red Dot. I was able to find two more last year. The first one cost me $186 and the second one was $256. I suppose I would pay that again if i could find it.

Put it this way, with the Wuflu, Ukraine war and Australian Defense Industries (ADI) putting out no fast powder now for a few years ..... we're stoked to have these shipments arriving!!!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 An 8 hour day for a pound of powder...who'd have thought it. Glad you guys finally got some powder and primers, it's a shame that yer getting the big end of the shaft though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Eagle Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I'm happy for you and all of our Australian pards. Reloading components are not always easy to come by. I've been stocking up when I can, but some of what I want is just not available at any price here in the good old USA. I'd buy as much as you can get/afford to keep you shooting a while. No telling what the future will bring. Let's go shoot at stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
