Lots of it around here. Not much rifle powder available though.

Some here.

I've been seeing blue dot and 2400 in bass pro in Springfield here lately. The rest is hit and miss.

Lots at my gun shop. Of course, Hodgdon is in town.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
My LGS had some Bullseye , Unique and 2400 they all sold out in that order in about a month he sold his last can of rifle powder (3031) tuesday , still has about 500 Rem 9 1/2 M and 2K Alcan shotgun primers. ironoicaly he still has about 2000+ 22 shorts and 2000+ 17 HRM. All items at normal prices!
None here, one shop had some VV, nothing from Alliant. I picked up a cannister of Trail Boss the other day. A customer asked a guy in one of our local warehouse sporting goods stores that is usually well stocked about powders. The salesman said maybe a couple of months if we are lucky. I bought shotgun wads just in case.
Bought 8lbs of promo a few weeks ago at brownells. Im not having a problem finding it but it requires looking and buying when seen and maybe trying something new which is why I bougjt promo. Someone on a forum here recommened red dotfor the calibers I normally shoot and someone else said promo subbed on an equal wgt basis so I ordered it. 8lbs for $90. Love it too!

All I'm seeing in the Little Rock and Hot Springs Arkansas area is Red Dot, Green Dot, and Blue Dot. And a little bit of 700x.
No 231, HP38, Bullesys, Unique or Universal.

To answer the OP: Yes. In my reloading room.![]()
I picked up a pound of 2400 a couple weeks ago at a large gunshop about 100 miles from me. They had plenty, but limited buyers to one pound a week.
Not worth it to drive 200 miles to purchase one pound of powder, so will wait until my lgs has it in stock. I am not in dire need, although my bucket o bullseye is getting on the low side.
Was at Cabelas in Hamburg, Pa. the other day and they had almost nothing.
I am not cutting back on my shooting yet, but might have to consider it if this goes for a year or more.

I stopped by Gander Mtn last week and I bought the only pound of Red Dot they had. They had 8 one pound jugs of Blue Dot, but I didn't want any Blue. Nothing else is really available.

I just scored a pound of Power Pistol today. I've been pouring over my notes getting a recipe ready.
I picked up 2 pounds of Herco today at one of our local gun shops. The previous owner, that still works there said that they had a lot more (powder) than some of the other stores. He said that they even had more firearms than most. They have been in town of probably 20 - 30 years, so they are well established and must have good suppiers.
He also stated that things are STILL tough though.

It appears that I'm going to get "reacquainted" with a few firearms.
No W231 to be found, so I bought some bullseye...... new to me, never used it, have to work up new loads for all of my autos.
$56 for 4lb........ and I got a whole bunch of "new" guns, that's a heck of a deal!
$56/4lbs is a good deal. I paid $95/4lbs for some when I saw a mini-keg. I figured it was no more expensive than buying it by the pound so took it. This will last me a while I hope.
You'll enjoy the Bullseye. It works well in the .45 ACP and it's my first choice in the .44 Special for plinking rounds. There is no Bullseye or Unique to be had around here.
I bought it for use in my 45ACP's and it's the first time I've used it. Just never got around to trying it for some reason as other powder has always worked fine for me.
My garage has a better supply than any of the gun shops in this area (and that's not saying much, unfortunately)..
