I have been pleasantly surprised in my recent meanderings to have seen Hodgdon Extreme powders at or under $50/lb, Western spherical powders occasionally as low as $30/lb, and other extruded powders for mid-40s/lb. $57.50/lb still feels high even at current market levels, but I also realize that RL16 has not been available as much as the others, so maybe it will come down after a few waves of that product hit.
