Jungo2 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm looking to purchase a quantity of Vihtavouri N320 - preferably the 4lbs. container. Can anyone recommend a good stocking source? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 PV shows it out of stock. They have one pounders though. First lesson to using V V powders, it only comes into the country a few times a year. When it does buy a bunch and don't ever get too low! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 All of my local shops (3) always have it in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in Chadds Ford - less than 10 minutes from Targetmaster. I'll check with them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Order it now from PV. And stand by for it to ship! That's what I have done in the past. And make the Order for 16 pounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankfan79 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) VV N320 (4lb) Graf N Sons is out Powder Valley is out Wideners is out Midway USA is out Natchez is out Anyone else to look at? Edited April 13, 2011 by hankfan79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McAllyn Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 At Powder Valley, I just ordered the 1pounders. Yes, they are ~$4 more per pound, but I'd rather pay a few dollars more than not have any at all. When they have the 4 pounders, I get what I can.

CZinSC Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 There's always Vhit direct...but they charge an arm and a leg compared to everyone else. My link 4 one pounders from PV is $4 less than the 4# jug at Vhit. Just throwing another option out there for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankfan79 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Think they would give me the 4# discount if I ordered 4 individual pounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm iprod Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I believe they have a warehouse in NC. It all comes in boxed up and ready to go. No retail outlet can afford to discount the 1lb jugs to the 4lb price, as Vihtavouri charge them less per pound for the bigger containers, they would go broke. Vihtavouri has the lowest margins for the money invested, as if they applied a reasonable margin you would never buy it. I now have a rule on primers powders etc etc. Get enough to last you two years and check it every six months. Never failed me since 2005 when a freind at Hodgdon suggested this. Over the 9 month since June 2005 (when I got back from the Bianchi Cup) I built up my stocks slowly month by month as money became available. Buy anything and everything that you can afford and then some more. Never run even remotely low. As an aside for my purposes, NRA Action Pistol 38Super minor, I can use Titegroup at the same weight as N320 for similar, not the same, results.

Buy anything and everything that you can afford and then some more. Never run even remotely low. Just bought 24 lbs from powder valley (16 was N320). After deciding that I would stick with VV powders for my loads, I think I will follow the above philosophy. Less headache to find and you can survive the "out" drought without making a new load.

blaster113 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Once its in stock order enough to last a while. Got 12lbs in Jan. from PV; wish I could afford to buy more. Using the N320 with jhps for bigger matches and Solo 1000 or whatever else I can get my hands on with lead/moly bullets for practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
