Default Powder, powder, everywhere.

We know there's powder at Bass Pro Shop. There's also powder at Wholesale Sports and a bunch at Shooters Edge. I can only assume Proline has it too. Not the widest selection came in this shipment but it'll make a lot of reloaders happy.

It's good to see that more and more powder is coming into the market. Hopefully more bullets, brass and primers flood the market as well!

Last time I was at Bass Pro (8 months or so ago) They didn't carry Alliant powders, only Hodgdon?

This is hilarious. Alberta got a shipment of 150 lbs of powder and the crisis is over.

Seems as though a decent amount of powder came north of the border in the last week or so. Quite a few shops, not just in this province have had some stock again....for this week.

You just have to be on the lookout. Powder is out there.

I got some IMR4350 from the Shooting Edge. They have quite a bit of powder.
Denzel was in there looking for Varget. He left disappointed.

If you want I have two lbs I'll sell you for the price I just bought it for.

Made a dumb mistake and bought 22 while wanting 17.

It was like 36/each I think plus tax. Have receipt.

Ended up grabbing the last 2 pounds they had, so im good for a while. Somebody on here will most likely take them off your hands though.
