gatnfans Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I was searching other forums and ran across this thread that dates in early 2013. If true it supposed to happen this year. But if its true they have keep a tight lid on it. http://smith-wessonforum.com/reloading/316204-advice-powders-replace-vv-n320-vvn340.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDA Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thats what I read as well but just wanted to hear from people in the know. Then you would need to ask Nammo rather than anyone in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertl35 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Interesting that Powder Valley is out of most of the VV powders. Normally, they have a good selection in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Powder Valley had N320 not too long ago (maybe like three or for months). But it was gone in hours. The US distributor usually has someone at the SHOT Show, so hopefully I'll be able to get some details next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Interesting that Powder Valley is out of most of the VV powders. Normally, they have a good selection in stock. PV has had little to no powder, of any brand, in stock for several months. They have some primers but not a lot of selection. I wonder how they stay open when there is no stock to move.

Pasley Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you watch this gunbot thing > http://www.gunbot.net/reloading/powder/ < Powder Valley seems to have less coming into inventory than anybody else. Don't know how accurate it is but maybe they are filling back orders or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed this too. If PV can't get powder for as long as they've been dry I think it's time for some production expansion at the manufacturers. PV does get a shipment in once in awhile, but it's gone within hours usually. They announce it on the Facebook page and poof...GONE! If we all loaded .50BMG we would be in good shape, powder for that is everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we could just put one stick of 50 BMG powder in a 9mm case and make minor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsons1480 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 1# N320 is availabe at powder valley. Looks like they just got a huge order of varying kinds of powder in. Unfortunately, nothing I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hey, thanks for the heads up. They also have A1680 which has been out of stock forever (lots of people using it for 300 BLK subsonic loads). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hogdon has sold its powder business to AMF. Word on the street is many powders are going to be manufacturer discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatnfans Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hogdon has sold its powder business to AMF. Word on the street is many powders are going to be manufacturer discontinued. Where did you hear this? I just did a search and could not find anything and I have a friend at the stock exchange that keeps up with big company deals and he has not heard anything about this either.
