I was into BP pretty heavy in the early 90's, until 2010 or so (very expensive Divorce). Unfortunately sold off most of them under duress. Dust has settled and I have my life back. Getting back into it and checking out my stock, I had a METAL can, 1 pound of Goex FFFG, purchased new at Kittery Trading post around 1992, sticker said $9.49. Today, I was at the Trading post again checking out used BP rifles and I decided to pick up a new can. What a wake up call!! First off, same powder, one pound of Goex, FFFG, but the container was PLASTIC. Yup, plastic. 2nd, the price? $29.99!!! I feel like Rip van Winkle waking up to a new world. What are you guys paying for a pound of GOEX FFFG where you live???
