Is anyone finding any powder?
« on: September 25, 2013, 09:03:09 PM »
I've been patiently waiting for powder to start returning to the shelves now that the scare has subsided. Ammo is starting to return but still no powder. At least not at the stores I've check and Midway. Does anyone know where some can be found? I prefer IMR4350 but at this point beggars can't be choosers. Plus I'm looking to start reloading for my .223, .338 MX, and my .450 Bushmaster so I will need some different powders anyway. I am willing to travel.

I haven't seen much. Just keep looking  :tup:
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Nope.  Occasionally see some Blue dot or something I don't want.  I've been waiting and waiting for Reloader #5 and some H322.

Been looking for the same powder for the past 6 months and no luck.

Looking for it at Cabela's Lacey, Sportsman's Warehouse in Silverdale and Federal Way.

What are you going to do?

Well me, I do not have any guns, gave away or sold them 15 years ago.

I can check in Portland to see what they have, if you would like.

About the same as any place else  :dunno:. As far as what they have in stock right now is a bunch of 7828 and some others but no 4350. He said they should be getting a new shipment in tomorrow.
