Blackhorn 209 current going price

I'm seeing it in shops for $79.99 and is now 8 oz instead of 10oz.
I do not use it. I have almost full jug of 10 oz. I use other loose powder black powder types.
Lots of folks do not read the general info on the side of the Blackhorn jug.
Not for use with regular black powder caps. Recommended for sealed ignition system and 209 shotgun primers.

I use it in several bpcr cals. (fed 215 primers), works well but +$$$
picked up 2 jugs of it last week, ($75 each) LGS had it and when he rang up the sale he pointed out that the price was last years sticker, said he couldn't even get it for that price now , I called Scheels to see if they had any and they did but it was at $95 per 8oz jug
My lgs could only get 4 8 oz jugs from her supplier. $80 a jug.
She also finally got in #11 caps.
I just bought a double 12 gauge and was low so I bought 1000.
I shoot flinters so the only caps I had I bought in 1986! The price went up quite a bit!
Seen BH209 8oz recently for $99.
I do not use BH209.
I can get more consistent accuracy with other type powders. As stated on the 209 jug, it should only be used in sealed ignition systems.
Also seen Bricks of Federal large rifle primers at $89 in same store.
Also starting to see Large Magnum rifle primer bricks (1000 per box) surfacing at $110.
Suspect things will be going away AGAIN soon, hard to find and pricy.
Kamala says she is going to stop the price gouging. I suspect she is not talking about reloading supplies.

just picked up a
Thompson Center Pennsylvania Hunter 50cal flintlock, gave it to my Son to get him started in BP , now all I have to do is get the real stuff order so he can start shooting
