MoNsTeR Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 http://www.escribe.com/sports/bullseye/m47016.html I tried ordering VV N310 thru Natchez and Champions Choice. Apparently, VV had lost its DOT certificate to ship its powder through UPS or US Postal Service. It has been 2 months, according to Customer Service at Natchez, and he does not know when this issue will be resolved. Anyone know if this is true? (If it is I'm hosed, VV is all I use and I'm out!)

MoNsTeR Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Ah crap, here's corroboration from another vendor: http://www.eabco.com/VVuori01.html Sorry, we're only accepting Back-Orders at this time. VihtaVuori HazMat is being re-classified by DOT and we don't expect to be shipping until late Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Merricks Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 There will be a match at FPSA the 16th. Henry carries VV stuff so shoot him an email if he's got it then you can shoot the match and get your powder without shipping charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Kwiat Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Noah (& Stuart as well), I don't know if you're going down to A2 or not but if you wanted to take advantage of Ivan's offer, I could mule some back up to CO for you. It wouldn't be a "major match" trip if I didn't have 50K+ of primers and enough powder in the back to make a really impressive fireball.

Rob Bagnato Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Those of you that will be at Area II should contact Angus he is selling VV powders as well as Zero bullets. You can pre-order and pick up at the match. Angus (602) 300-0950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNsTeR Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 You'd have to mule it just a smidge further to reach my new digs, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10ring Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I had some serious trouble ordering N320 earlier this year. Between the local rep and Kaltron, I don't know who was BSing me. After that I decided to find a different powder to do the job. Much easier on the nerves and wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunboy Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 VV's national distributor is Kaltron Pettibone in IL. I bet they know the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Hobdell Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 New Thread Old Topic. The original classification that was given to the powder was incorrect and should have and can till the reclassification only be shipped by placarded truck (very expensive) Anyone shipping Viht right now is breaking the DOT laws. Kaltron tell me that they hope to have this resolved in the next 3/4 weeks. We have all or most viht powders in stock and will have hem at the AZ 400 and Area 2, if you need to preorder then do. angus@ghosthoster.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truegent2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Thanks for warning guys. My local gun dealer confirmed the info. When I asked him when he thought the DOT mess would be resolved and VV would come back he said............."I was once told Jesus was coming back and I'm still waiting". All his one pounders were gone, so I got a 4# jug of 320....should keep shooting for the the next few months or til JC comes back, whichever is first.

CenTX Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 We ordered last week and received today 28# of VV powder from Powder Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonerhawk Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 "Anyone shipping Viht right now is breaking the DOT laws." This is an inaccurate statement. Just because you do not have any DOT approved boxes for VV does not mean that other distributors do not. The VV boxes are not DOT 4.1 approved. However, some distributors have their own boxes that were tested with VV powder to meet DOT specs. That is why other distributors are able to continue shipping. "We have all or most viht powders in stock and will have hem at the AZ 400 and Area 2, if you need to preorder then do." If you are still transporting VV powder in your own vehicle in their boxes, you are breaking DOT laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Hobdell Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Correct I got a fax from Kalton this morning stating that the classification was changed and every thing was back to normal. Thank You DOT and Jeannie Bolda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Hobdell Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 BTW the classification had f#*k all to do with boxes DUDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
