Powder IN-STOCK thread

They are. The volume being consumed right now is unbelievable. I was in the warehouse of a well known reloading shop and the amount of powder would make some people pass out, but most of it was going to back orders. If people quit hoarding, it would probably all be normal by next Tuesday! 🤣
Whenever I can, I stock up ... to keep it away from those damn hoarders.
 
I was looking at PV today and put an 8lber of A2520 in cart and then H4350 popped up and Clays - got 3 lbs of H4350 (it was getting sold faster than I could get into cart) plus a 4lb jug of Clays (for my 45ACP).

I suspect one reason that Varget is so hard to get is so many people transitioned from 6/6.5 Creedmoor to the 6BR/Dasher/GT. I know that is why I am looking for Varget!
 
I would love to pick up a couple 8 pounders of xbr,
I've seen those twice in less than a week at PV, but it's the first time I can recall in a year and being on the Discord server non-stop for notifications. Of course, I struck out. I did get some of that Staball stuff today though, 8 lb. to ease the hazmat blues. I can finally load for my 6.5 Manbun.
 
Anyone have any clue why except for a few 1 lb containers fought over at Powder Valley why Hodgden hasn’t released any Varget on the market for well over a year? I would love for Hodgden to explain why they are making Leverevolution and not Varget and H4350. It’s getting pretty annoying to want something and for a manufacturer to not make it.
Just my own little theory here...

I think part of the squeeze on Varget is that it is one of Hodgdon's Extreme Series powders. Along with H1000. They work well and are temp stable. That makes them popular for folks who shoot a lot... Less worry about velocity/pressure swings.

Also, I believe Varget is made by ADI in Australia... I won't open the political can o' worms... but present circumstances both here and there may factor into the scarcity.

Just got notice that my Berger Bullets - 6mm - 109 Grain - Long Range Hybrid Target (100) are shipping from brunos tomorrow, for those who show pending still
I received the same notice. And CC charged.

I was also able to order two 100 count boxes from Midway yesterday or the day before. They had a two box limit. Also was able to get two 1 lb. jugs of Varget from Midway. Again, two 1 lb. limit. It's all the additional shipping and HAZMAT due to limits that's pissing me off.
 
I prefer Retumbo in my 338-LM, but MagPro works great in my 300-WM and 300-PRC ... and it has the advantage of being "obtainable" in these crazy times.
Yeah. This will be feeding my 6.5saum so being a bit faster isn't a big issue. Usually prefer h1000 or rl26 but haven't managed to snag any of either in the last year and a half

Accurate seems to be doing a good job making their popular powders available during the shortage ... more so than others ... and their MagPro and 4350 both shoot really well for me. They've earned my loyalty, even when the other powders eventually get back to normal (if ever).
 
IMR 8208 XBR available.

Yeach, I should have just done it. I have 1 jug of it but I do want another just to put up. I had it in my cart and was going to do it immediately but the fee and all was like 50 bucks making it 338 total but yeah I should have just grabbed it and been done. It will come around again before I get anywhere near out but it probably won't be cheaper and very well could be more...
Dude, don't fart around, it won't get any cheaper.
