Default Imr 4350

Is anyone having any success finding IMR 4350 for sale anywhere? If so where? Any suggestions for good substitutes if not? New to the reloading game! Thanks

If you post what cartridge you are loading and the bullet you will be using, you may get some good feedback.

If you still have it I'll buy it from you. prophet river is sold out. Cabelas and Basspro I had no luck with. My local wholesale sports and the local gun shops here around Lethbridge are sold out with no idea when they might restock. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. For the person who asked I am shooting a Ruger M77 280 AI. I'm working on getting a good load. Ill be loading the Nosler brass with hornady 156 grain interbonds. That's my initial plan. Though I am open to suggestions! Thanks again.

I just had a family member of mine pick me up a few pounds from Kodiak Lake hunting and fishing in Barrhead. Sounds like they have a good stock.

I have 1/2 pound imr 4350, 3/4 pound blue dot, and 1.5 pound imr 4320 would trade for silver coins or similar quantity of varget, retumbo or H414.

Quantities are estimated!

Live in Lethbridge.

IMO any powder shortage in some areas is self inflicted, the same with the supposed .22lr ammo shortage. People heard that there might be a shortage so they started hoarding, buying 5 lbs instead of the 2 lbs that they normally would have bought and needed. From what I've seen both the powder and ammo supply is fine except where there has been panic buying.

People who don't even reload yet are buying powders out of paranoia!
