I know my buddy is in the same boat but he picked up some at a local shop 3 lbs of varget. He gave up on the internet and just kept checking every shop he could whenever he could. Eventually he found some. Of course a lot of places in our area have limits on how much you can purchase so that everybody has a chance. He only got three because his girl and his sister got a lb for him.

They sell powder in their physical store? Lucky you.
^^ I would work up the IMR4320 first, it is listed in the Hodgdons manual for several 223 loads.
For everyone else, here is the burn chart from the Lapua VV reloading manual. It is very easy to compare powder alternatives, just print and carry in your jacket for those powder buy trips.
How much do you need? I've got "some" Varget and H4895 that I can loan ya while you look for some in-stock somewhere. I'll send a PM with my cell number.
