    I bought CCI primers for $35.99 a brick. :) A bit high, but far better than the $40+ they want at gun shows. They've got LPP and SPP.

    I don't use Red Dot or Blue Dot, but pistol powders are hard to find.

    I think the 1# RD was ~$24. I use mostly Bullseye or HP38, with some W231 and AA9 mixed in. I was supposed to come home and look at some data. Dinner and Rolling Rock interrupted my plans.

    Cost of 1# of Blue Dot powder?

    I didn't look at the price of the Blue Dot. These aren't powders that I normally use, although I considered buying them as a reserve.

    They had more LPP than SPP too. The SPP will probably go fast. Any pistol powders will sell quickly in this climate, I think.

    Red Dot Rocks. I use it in 380-9mm-38-45acp-45Colt- and others
    I use Green Dot as well as it good for Mag loads like 357 - 44 and 7.62x25 ect
    You can use the Blue I would have been there i would have grabbed the Blue.
    Someone gave me 2 large 8# kegs of Old Red Dot in the brown cardboard kegs that had a label on then like they use to do what 30-35 years ago.
    It was unopened and stored in a home on a shelf Dry, in A/C, Heated home so it was like the day it was made and shoot great just a little dirty.
    Guess my silly point is..................You could get by with just Red, Blue and Green good to have sitting on the shelf.
    BTW} If ya ever see the 8 pounds of Promo {cheap} it is the same burn rate as Red Dot! And can be used same as Red Dot but by "weight not volume"

    I called ahead and asked them to put back a five pound jug of Blue Dot for me. If I understood correctly it was the last one of blue dot. Thanks for posting information. I'm good for the summer now.

    They still have the Red Dot. They got in some Winchester pistol primers too. I didn't look at the pricing.

    They're starting to carry more and more reloading components. We need someplace to buy components on the Bestbank.

    Did I read this correctly? Did you say you mixed your powder? Or do you just mean to say that you use different powders?

    I am a little concerned for your health and well being.
