Buyer Beware - gorillamotors - 10-14-2022
I went to my local 2000 yard range and was talking to one of the shooters there. We discussed the powder situation. I told him I was looking for some Retumbo. We reached an agreement 16# of my Varget for 16# of his Retumbo. I saw him the following week. Before the trade was made I told him I wanted to inspect the Retumbo. I opened both containers and both were a flat spherical powder. I told him that this is not Retumbo as Retumbo was a medium cut grain powder. Long story short he tried to trade me surplus military powder for my genuine Varget. NO trade was made and he was screaming mad when I left. Know the powder in which you intend to buy.

Good lesson. Assume nothing.
Unfortunately there are shysters everywhere.

Way to be alert! Not only did you avoid getting ripped off but avoided injury from gawd-knows-what powder.
