Power Valley has 714 8-pound jugs of Varget in stock . . . $389.00 each before freight & hazmat.

One hundred pounds of powder to Hawaii has a flat rate $450.00 freight / Hazmat fee. One 8 pound jug of Varget would be $425.99 landed. So is $53.25 / pound of Varget (x 8 for the jug) reasonable?

I know this is old, but what freight forwarding service will do it?  Trying to put together an order for a few of us.

Powder Valley uses Aloha Freight Forwarders to Honolulu, but I believe you are on Maui?

Yeah, wasn't sure if it would be one of the ones here.  I'll have to give them a call and see what the options are. 

Last year November a few coworkers and I used Honolulu Freight Sevices to ship 75lbs worth of powder to Oahu from Powder Valley. HFS quotes us out the door at $475.51

They told me to pay with cash or check if possible because debit/credit card has a 3% fee.

I thought prices back then were pretty high for gunpowder. I've been looking recently this year and man unless you're loading precision, hunting, or hollow point ammo, I dont think its worth it anymore, especially the time it takes. Loading shooting into trash plinking ammo with such expensive components becomes inline with price with bulk fmj munition from LGSs, maybe more expensive in some cases.

Wouldn't mind jumping in on this if it happens

Yes, and No. If you reload to have cheaper ammo, then for most calibers it isn't. Ammo is cheaper now. If you have a concern that if the left keeps losing gun control policies, they will go after your ammo. If that happens, then reloading may be your only recourse. In which having the equipment, supplies, and education to reload would be a good thing to have.
