    How much are you paying?

    I use a guy named Aaron (bangbang4u) on Gunbroker, even if he doesn't have it listed he can normally find what I need. Check this Gunbroker store

    Don't you mean 4 years, maybe? Since that's the presidential term.

    I buy powder from Aaron(Robin's Trading Co.) as well.
    Last time he had RL-15 listed it was $50/lb., I dont need it bad enough to pay that.

    It could be 4 years, idk.
    Last time it was roughly 2 years after Sandy Hook before supply and demand began to equalize and even longer before prices got back to pre- mass hysteria levels.
    This is what I've been hearing lately from ammo/component manufacturers again this go round. Expect availability to be in dribs and drabs until things get back to normal....whatever that may be.

    He has always been consistent in the prices I've got from him and normally because I buy no less than 2 pounds, it's cheaper than local prices here in California even with shipping. Depending on what it is, he will sometimes give a Veterans discount as well, but you have to ask.
