I thought this shortage was passing by, seems to be getting worse! I have nearly drained my last 8 pounder that was stashed for hard times. Well.......times are hard!

Who has any H 4350?

Ill tell y'all one damn thing if I ever find some in a store you better believe I am buying every last piece. That is of course unless there is some kind of limit which seems to be popular these days.
I will never be caught short again, I will finish stocking up on a two year supply of everything I need and never go below those levels again..
This is my sentiment exactly...and probably shared by a HUGE percentage of frequent recreational shooters, to say nothing of competitors. Which, unfortunately, means the shortage is going to continue for a while.
I was able to snag 8lb from a semi-local shop a few months back, as I was given a lead just an hour after posting a BOLO on another forum.
I've got a whopping 3 pounds of it. Admittedly, it's the only powder I've run through my 260, and yes I'm on the lookout for more, but it's not the end all be all powder. There are others out there that work, and I'll just do some more load development. It's part of the hobby.
I'm into my last pound, and have been looking for more since Feb. Those who are hoarding a 2+ year supply may be inadvertently making things hard on everyone else. Just my opinion.
Local small shop said the plant that made Hodgdon suffered a fire and that's the reason for not seeing much of their powders. Love the rumor mill...

Perhaps we should start talking alternatives?
I'll start:
130 vld through a 6.5 Creedmoor gasser and RL15.
Anyone try this combination?

I bought some h4895 and 4831sc for just in case. Heard good things about both. Not as fast but consistent.
I have a few 8# jugs of IMR 4350, will stick with that for the 4350 for now, as soon as I can get some AA4350 I will, H4350 will be the last on my list to stock up on for new load development now.
At the sacrifice of over 100fps, though. I have 9 pounds of it, though, so it is an option should times get real bad.
It is still hit and miss guys for the online outlets. I was able to score 24 lbs last week from Powder Valley. I was down to my last pound.
I was able to get about the same amount from Bruno's and some from Midsouth. At least we're seeing it show up now! That's the most any of us have seen/had lately!
I picked up 10 cases of H4350 and Varget a couple weeks ago and managed to get one case of the new cfe223

Bwerks, YOU DU MAN!!
I just ordered two kegs of H4350 from Precision. I've been looking for a week now since I bought my Rem 700, Bartlein, Manners .260. Even tracked down some desert Unicorns but no luck.
Thanks Brother
James, I just got mine from Precision, thanks to bodywerks. Thanks for your reply.
I couldn't find any H4350 so I grabbed some AA4350, will see how it works. From what I've read it is very similar, will see if the .260 likes it.

They did, I think I was able to snag 8lbs...maybe if the order went through. Thanks for the heads up!
Your welcome! That powder has been as rare as hen's teeth to find! Glad you were able to get some.
I hope you're right. I ordered a keg but i won't celebrate until i get shipping notification.

What time did you order out of curiosity? I placed mine at 10:54 EST and I haven't received order conformation or shipping info yet, nor has my cc been charged. It showed "In Stock" when I placed it in the cart. Perhaps they do not have real time inventory. Oh Well.
Yesterday evening at like 6pst.

Since I have none, anybody try H414 with 6.5mm CM? I think I read somewhere that it can be done and worked kinda well.
Good to know. If they don't contact me tomorrow I'll ring them up first thing Friday.
I appreciate that offer. I'm not close to being out, just trying to stock up for next year. Looking to pick up the occasional 8lbs keg when possible. I'll let you know though.
