Default Powder Locator

Thought with all the shortages, maybe this will help someone out


Trapper Gords had IMR4350@$80 and IMR4831@$70 on July 3rd. Max 1lb per powder per customer.


If anyone finds H1000 or H4831 I'd sure appreciate a heads up.

Varget is showing as in stock at Cabelas North. I suspect it won’t last long.

Thanks for educating us booknut. I had to look up REACH compliance. Good to know there are safe alternatives but there are some pretty popular powders on that list. One line I picked up on is that you come under the reach Microscope if you use quantities over one tonne per year. My stockpile isn’t quite that big.
All joking aside it’s one more reason to thoroughly wash up after a stint at the reloading bench. I always do because of the nasties that are in used primers.

If you search diligently, and are lucky enough to find someone like I did...

You can get yourself deals like 4.5 lbs of IMR 4350 for $50 a pound. !

Our local store has been able to get most powder in again, but the prices.

Of course only in store pickup, and they don't offer to even show their stock online. I talked to them about it on Sat, so hopefully they can at least show online what they stock.

Have sourced N565 if you don't end up finding any and want a source.

They probably don't put their powder stock online because they don't want to have a gazillion phone calls and emails to deal with. Also they probably want to serve their long standing local customers rather then sell out overnight and when the locals come in they don't have any left. To say nothiung of the hassle of shipping the stuff.
