RDA Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 They are making powder, Hodgon is distributing it in the US, they can't make it nearly as fast as it is purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpulled Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Picked up a 4 pounder last weekend. 128$ I hit the jack pot, lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayfk05 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Some shops are asking eur 62.- ($85) for a pound of N3x0. And I have heard of even higher prices. Glad I never used it, don't have to adjust to a new powder this way Edited June 14, 2014 by xrayfk05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmr2sw Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Shoot.. I paid a record $285 on gunbroker for 4LBS of N320. Didnt really care though. Gotta pay to play right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeactionjackson Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Not really, I won't fuel the clowns that buy ten 4# kegs on PV one day, and then have them selling for $200-$400 the next. I refuse to pay that money, and will consider alternatives to butt r@pe! ~g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Never tried it. Gets great talk from guys at my club. I inquired about it at my local reloading shop and it was $35 per lb. I decided to stick with my AA#5 at $22 per lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterthefish Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I just picked up 6 lbs. of 3N38 Lapua data lists 1207 FPS for a 9mm 147gr out of a 4 in barrel! BTW if now ones seen it Lapua has a new load data sight and added more calibers/load data on 7-2-14 I use this load for bowling pins. I don't get 1200 FPS even out of a 5" + Glock 34 barrel (and I worked up this load using XTPs) but it is fun to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safeactionjackson Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Doubtful that I'm the reason people can't find powder, and it was more or less a group purchase for three people. You won't see it on GB if that's what your getting at? ~g Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 And where did you find 32 lbs for sale all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeactionjackson Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 PV had a delivery about a two weeks ago or so, monitored there site all afternoon hoping to snag something, finally gave up and headed up. Got home around 30 minutes later and checked the site, they had 4lb'ers in stock, so I snagged eight. ~g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Picked up 32lbs of N320 just a week ago ~g Why? You are the reason that no one else can get any. 32 lbs is a small order these days. I just got down to 24 lbs of WAC and now I will start paying attention to PV updates etc and order some when I see it. I no longer deal in small amounts of anything when it comes to reloading components. Then again I have just been sitting back watching everybody panic for the last two years and reloading and shooting as if there is no shortage. My guess is anybody who got caught short handed this time won't make the same mistake twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorfish Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I used to think one year of primers and powder was plenty... my NEW standard is 2 years of primers/powder in advance. With regards to VV N320, I've moved closer to a three year supply. I grabbed an extra 20lbs. of VV N320 the last time Powder Valley had stock. I noticed that one four pound bottle came in the old style bottle, but four of my four pound bottles came in a newly designed bottle. Yes, I know my new "stocking status" hasn't helped the general reloading population, but the good news is that I'm stocked back up so there will be more powder for everyone else. Hopefully everyone will reach a comfortable level soon but I'm afraid after every panic/shortage, new hand loaders will also start thinking like me. On the bright side there's always death... Maybe estate sales will be the new source of reloading components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is anybody who got caught short handed this time won't make the same mistake twice. I've been buying in bulk to save money on shipping/hazmat charges. Started reloading 1 year ago, so I wasn't able to stock up prior Got lucky a few times at local stores, the range I work at, and couple of online orders..... unlike a lot of people I'm in a good place Totally agree with storing 2+ years worth of components, trying to build a fair stash of bullets is next. Things seem to be getting better, pistol powder just needs to catch up. ~g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I've gotten N320 recently from both Powder Valley when they showed in stock, and Graf's called the other day to fill a backorder, so its getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
