BPI powder prices?!*#
www.shotgunworld.com
Just an FYI, I work for a gun shop and my Federal Ammo/Alliant powder sales rep was in our shop 2 weeks ago. He informed me that Alliant was taking a 30% price increase. He blamed the price spike of nitrocellulose due to the war in Ukraine and one of only 4 nitrocellulose plants in the world had an explosion last fall. So I am now seeing most retailers pricing at the new price. I was also told that Alliant has been shipping a fraction of what they normally ship for powder. At one time they shipped 30 Million dollars a year and last year they shipped about 2 million dollars. We have only received about 100lbs of Alliant powder in that last 3 years. Unlike the Hodgdon brands, I can not order direct. I can only order from distributors and they have been very stingy with their allocations. I think if you look, BPI is not the only one selling it at the new price. Brownells is also at that price. This time it is not a price gouging issue but just a price increase from the manufacture.
