Default Looking for powder. Found everything but.

With the latest shipment of powder from across the border the shelves seem to have alot of good stock. Hell, WSS had a 10% off on powder yesterday. (Although when i asked for IMR 7977 which their computers showed they had 6 lbs , the clerk coundn't find them.....) Anyway, i'm putting the call out to see if anybody has seen any VV N570. I just used up my last bit and haven't been able to get any this year yet
I was gonna try the IMR 7977 as a backup. But I know the N570 works so well in my 6.5 SS wildcat.

XReload in Quebec show inventory on their site. I've used them in the past, good to deal with.

Believe you have to create a account and provide them with your PAL number
before you can look at the powder.

I thought i'd update what i found as these calls for help go out often and no results are posted. I quickly did an account with x-reload and called in. They had 2 pounds in stock. Not much, but i took it. Very grateful to find anything! The website is a bit hard to navigate and i couldn't find out what powders they had in stock via website. Even after creating account with pal info. Bought some 6.5mm 140gr vld-hunting bullets because i've had trouble getting those too lately. You guys who can check inventory via website will have to tell me how you did it. 2 lbs won't last long, but i'll keep on the lookout. Thanks for the help hombres.
