I'm reloading several thousand .223 rifle cartridges for a friend and I had to pick up some powder. I was shocked to see that almost all of the rifle powders are $30 a lb now. Last year, they were $20 a lb and they jumped to $25, and now $30 a lb. I was looking for Varget, BL-C(2), 4895, Reloder15, etc... and I only found a few lbs. With prices constantly on the rise, I don't know how I'll be able to afford this hobby for much longer. You can reuse brass and cast your own bullets, but primers are still NLA and powder prices are crazy!
