I checked out my local store's reloading shelves, and holy cow! Look at all the powder they had on the shelf! They even had H110 and W296, which they haven't had in stock for at least a year in a half. 'Tis a beautiful sight.

In all seriousness, I probably need to pick up at least one more pound each of H110, IMR 4064, and probably some others before autumn. Regardless of what happens during this election, I'm pretty sure there's going to be another run on reloading supplies and ammunition, so I'd better get what I need while it's there.

Looks good. They have a good stock locally here as well. Even HS-6 which I hadn't seen for years. I wouldn't wait until November if I need any. Same goes for primers. I recently bought a large lot of supplies from a family member of a loader who had passed and am good for a while. I now have about 10k large pistol primers and 20# of powder. Hope I live long enough to shoot it all up ;-)


Rod, too.

If you have 296, you have H110

Same here. They've lifted the 3# restriction, or one 8# jug restriction as well. I still pick up the H110 and Titegroup when I see it. You can bet your butt it will be bare shelves again if Billary gets back in. I'm even loading up on some black powder for my flintlock, just in case.

A few weeks ago i stopped at my lgs. Shop was full of powder bullets and cases of ammo. Stopped friday to get some bullets for the 41.... shop is cleaned out. Asked owner if he got robbed or was he going out of bussiness. He just laughed and said stuff is flying off the shelf and alot of stuff is back ordered. Scrounged a can of 4227 and a box of 45 xtp . Looks like the next panic has begun.

I have two local stores I frequent. They are both pretty well back to normal, at least on powders that I use.
Between the two they had:
300 MP
H110
1680
AA#9, AA#7, and AA#5 I do not remember any AA#2.
HS6
Unique
Enforcer
BE86
BlueDot
Power Pistol
H322

I do not remember seeing any 2400. I do not use it, so I might have missed seeing it. I do not recall any WW 296 either.

They have finally been getting Red Dot shotgun powder again. No Promo so far.

One thing I have noticed is that prices have went up. Powders that were under $20 not that long ago are now $25 - $32 a pound.
The H322 for my 35 Bullberry Contender was one of the $32 powders at one shop, and $24 at the other one. I picked up the $24 can.
