Now may not be the time to be shopping for deals (or even reasonable pre-panic prices) if you REALLY need powder.

I was doing the math and realized how little the powder contributes to the total price of a round.  Even if I payed double the pre-panic price, my cost would only go up $0.02383 per round or $2.383 per 100.  The 1# bottles of CFE are a little more expensive than what I paid per pound with buying an 8# keg of WSF, and it sounds like I will likely be loading with 0.2 grains more CFE powder than the WSF, so my total increase will be about $0.004871 per round or $0.4871 per 100.

Not ideal, but I can deal with it so I can keep shooting.

.50 ish cents per hundred is better then 50 for two more rounds buying factory ammo

I'm not sure if I'm picking up what you're laying down there chief.  Though I'm extremely tired after all the fun today looking like a doofus at the Steel Challenge match, and I may not be understanding plain english.

Autocomp is a tad slow for the ancient .45 ACP.  Has to be loaded hot for best performance.

For now, I'll stick with my home brew powder: Cat fur, charcoal and cheap Scotch.  A little smokey but the RO's love the haze.

Actually think they liked being able to see your bullets fly down range.
