    Well, if the hoarders didn't know about it before they certainly do now. Since I have 23 lbs of Titegroup on hand I don't need to hurry over to Indiana. Now if I can just stock up a little for reloading .45 ACP I'll be in good shape.

    Just so folks know, IGC isn't open every day. They will next be open on Friday.

    Personally I don't care if you're a hoarder. I'm just glad you're not a flipper or gouger. I just thought it was humorous that you were calling some one a hoarder and then said you had 23# of a single powder. It's even funnier that you said that you have had it for over 18 months. Congrats on being well prepared. Didn't mean to offend you it just makes me laugh when people complain about hoarders and then talk about how large of a supply of the somewhat same item that they have.

    Wow..

    I understand why the OP posted this, but as was stated people like "nurse bell" are gonna be buying that crap up to flip for an insane amount.

    Let's see, she sells powder for $50 a pound and charges $19 for shipping. Doesn't add up to the usual HazMat fee, do you think she ships this legally? Somebody should put her out of business.

    Soooooo, is it hoarding if I shoot on average 1,000 to 1,500 rounds per week, I don't plan to sell any of it, and I've had it for over 18 months ? Please provide your definition of hoarder.

    Signed,

    The Pot

    23 pounds of powder equals 161,000 grains of powder. If you're using 4.5 grains of TG per load, that's 35,777 loads. If you honestly shoot 1,250 rounds per week, that's only about 6 months or so of powder.

    I would not call that hoarding, I would call that being prepared. I would also say that shooting 1,250 rounds per week is a lot of shooting, but more power to ya! :)

    Have heard that the WST is pretty good in 45acp. Is it worth trying out? Can anyone say what it might be similar too? Like W231, AA#5 or 700x.

    If he's using 23 grains per shotgun shell, which is not out of the question, that's only 7,000 shells. That's an average of less than 150 per week. I shoot once, sometimes twice a week, and have shot almost that much each of the last two years.
