A-shot Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) You can imagine my foolishness, I sold 10lbs of n105 not even being aware of the powder situation....I feel dumb. Been out of the game for years.... Edited October 7, 2014 by A-shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyshoots Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) I got lucky when the new Scheels opened. 9 pounds of auto comp, 8 pounds of cfe pistol, and 5 pounds of wst. This was all in a couple week time frame. Edited October 7, 2014 by Tyshoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Its worse now than its ever been. I lucked out today and found some e3 and wst. Neither are my favorite for 9mm but cant be real picky right now. I do have 2#'s of titegroup but not a big fan of that either.

Fuelie777 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The powder situation is far from over. When I can go on line or the local shop and have a choice, and my fellow shooters say the same. Otherwise it is pot luck on what you found. I am now using 700x as it is all I can find. Will it work, yes, but it is a large flake shotgun powder and not good for 9 mm loads, but 45 and others yes. I believe it will be at least another six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I haven't found anything local in over a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigPig Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm still "hoarding" powder of any kind I might remotely use or keep around for trade fodder. I'll buy a couple pounds whenever I find it, usually TiteGroup or Varget. I do the same with 22LR, it's about the only factory ammo I buy anymore. I'm sitting on a respectable stash now, but I still don't feel comfortable with what I have. I may have a hoarding problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattx Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'm stocked for the moment, but still don't like the situation of not being able to get it when I need it. I don't see the situation changing anytime soon though, so I'm learning to deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont1120 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I stopped purchasing powder for pistols about two months ago. Thought I had enough (800 and 700X). I was assured by the local dealers it was just about to break loose and shipments would be catching up. Well wrong wrong wrong. No shipments have arrived and I will again start stocking back up. Will not get caught flat footed again. I do not know what the problems are, but that should not be the driving issue, the fact powder still remains incredibly hard to secure simplifies matters. Buy what you can afford.When it does break lose, the powder will shoot the same..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeactionjackson Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm in good shape with pistol powders. Need more bullets now . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-shot Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Keep your nose to the stone and your ear to the ground. I just got a dub of bullseye, and I found a place taking orders to Vihta, we'll see if they ship it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank48 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Went into my favorite LGS last Tuesday. He had an 8lb keg of WST and 2 4 lb kegs of WST. I bought the 8 lb and texted a buddy who bought 1 of the other 4 lbs. They were all gone in the first hour.

thermobollocks Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I found a keg of Clay Dot and about pooped myself, I was so happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gahunter12 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Far from over in NE Georgia. I purchased 24lb of Titegroup from my gun club back in Sept, but I ordered it back in January. I check 5 local shops that normally carry a large supply of powder weekly. They have just about any rifle powder I want, but bullseye, TG, Unique, WST, and W231 only shows up about once per month.

Max It Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 reporting for SoCAL: not much movement on pistol powders as yet. I got 2# of 700X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctay Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I had a dream about HS-6. That was the closest I've been in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I got email notices of SR4756 and Allient E3 in stock, both in 8 pound jugs. Hit the website ASAP to order only to find that I missed each by about fifteen minutes. That made me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmac Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Not too worried about powder since I scored 8# of Bullseye over the summer. Even before then I had quite a bit of "plan B" powders assembled, enough to get through the 2015 shooting season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywizzle Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Connecticut checking in. Still bad all over. Cabelas had Varget one pounders for 30 bucks a few times in the past two months but besides that nothing but black powder and random rifle powders. I still get laughed at when I ask for Tightgroup or Solo 1000. I've been lurking on powdervalley & gunbot for the two mentioned as well at VVn320. Primers are back to normal stocks at a 5$ to 10$ bump at most shops that carry reloading supplies. Good luck to those on the hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcobean Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just bought 4 lbs of Vhit N320 from Powder Valley. Bought 8 lbs of Ramshot Comp at a gun show a few months ago. Starting to come back....slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin c Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hit the local Code of the West GS last weekend. The big vendors had primers at very good prices ($108.95 plus local sales tax per 5K sleeve for Winchester). There was even some TiteGroup and N320, though both were steep (38 bucks a pound for the Viht and only a little less for the Hodgdon). Some folks even had .22, no limit (again expensive). So, not good, but not as bad as before (at least out this way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Powder problem is beginning to ease in my area. I picked up a pound of Bullseye Friday, I wasn't desperate for powder so I only took one pound. My "dealer" will put it aside if I ask, and I do have quite a bit of WST, Red Dot, Power Pistol, Titegroup, Unique and an old can of Win 296 (only use for .357 loads). I know, it is a wild variety of powders, but I bought what was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanCdp Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 LGS has win 296 8lb for $199.99 and a lot of n320,n340@ $42.95 per 14oz.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
