I wouldn't call it straight gouging, Bass Pro Shops charges 27.99-29.99 for most Hodgdon powders when they have any, I try to go to Cabela's if I'm getting just a pound or two to try, they're usually 21.99-24.99 per lb, obviously if you buy larger jugs it gets cheaper per lb but I only know one place that even ever has any and it isn't Bass Pro or Cabela's. 29.99 for a pound that you needed isn't anything to be ashamed of, especially now.

If you look on Hodgdon's site they list the exact same powder charges for H110 and W296, and the MSDS has them on the same line... Pretty reasonable bet that they are one and the same. Usually when I see them, the Winchester powders are a couple bucks cheaper than Hodgdon, I wouldn't hesitate to go the Winchester route
