As much as everyone bitches about gun shows, I have found more powder at gun shows than anywhere else. Some of it is from older gentlemen who are selling their reloading gear, some from folks who buy estate sales.

I bought about 17 pounds of powder (12 lb Green Dot in unopened containers, a pound of Red Dot, a pound of HS6, a pound of W760, and a couple others I forget at the moment) all for $120. These days I use a lot of Green Dot in my .45acp 200 gr LSWC loads.

Another time, I bought three one-pound containers of Bullseye for $8 each.

Yet another time, I bought about six one-pound containers of W296 for $10 each.
