My Local store called me today and told me they got a large shipment of powder in, so I rushed over, and they had tons of these little bottles all over the shelf with labels like the old 1 lbs. can had. They was as the article said $8:50 a bottle, but what made me mad was they put a limit on it to two bottles. But they had all the hard to get powders, Varget, H4350, 4895, Reloader 15, and Vitavaroi n133. I just could not make up my mind which one to get. So I came up with a plan I hired a couple of people walking past the store, to go in and buy me some powder. After I was done I had a pound of everything I wanted.

I'm not real sure I like it.

I like the 'ol 8lb cans that last's good long time.

And I still wanna know who's buying up all the powder.
I'm starting to think a fat lip is in order...

Alright Jim...
I just re-read the article TWICE, including the comments below it.

You know something? Spill it...

I'm not as young as I used to be. My heart can't take the aggravation.

I know but it's fun to play along.
Maybe catch a few of the younger guys...

Pretty solid joke! It'd be nice if smaller batches could be sent without invoking hazmat fees for people looking to sample various powders. Obviously, it'd be better if full-size canisters could be sent without the fee, but there you have it.

It probably won't inadvertently draw as much support as the 5.11 TDK (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwQSflH6bSI), but I think it could work.

I like the idea , saves buying a full pound if you want to try a new powder , the powder companies used to give away samples in cans about that size when new powders came out but these days nobody gives away anything .

Even if 's true about the new bottle it's just another way to sell power, like it to try new power too see if i like it and then buy an 8# container.

Sample size is 7000 grains and most sell for $25.

I have seen 12 packs of, I believe, Barnes bullets so you can try them for less than 35 bucks.
