    Well heck !!

    I'm down to the last of my Red Dot to load pistol ammo ! I keep thinking I'll run into more pistol powder but so far ....no dice ! Started to write a country and western song lamenting the shortage of powder available out there but really don't see that helping anything , just make a bad situation even worse . Well if nothing else I can gripe and whine about it . Is anyone else in withdrawal ?

    I know that song.
    It goes, Well I was drunk -- the day my Mama -- ran out of red dot--

    If you are anywhere near Albany, Ga I have some pistol powder I can spare at good prices. Maybe a lb or two.

    Play that song backwards and you get your wife back, your truck back and your dog returns home.

    send an email to Alliant and they will find someone of the LGS to carry it. At least that is what the load manual say's. Worth a try.

    When you find you are in deep trouble, look straight ahead,keep your mouth shut, and say nothing.

    Another more than generous offer to help a brother loader out , would not happen on many forums besides Cast Boolits ! Unfortunately your not any closer to me than Love Life . Offers of stewardship and help are worth more than the item itself . I thank you for your willingness to share , made my day .

    The dog; always

    The truck; may-be

    The x-wife; rather lay on the train tracks after a fifth.

    I used to use BE but switched to TG years ago Excellent powder ! my first go to powder to try in any handgun for accuracy at sometimes with less than full velocity.

    Work's excellent in the 357 mag ,44 mag and 454 casull with loads in the 800 to 1,100 fps range. ive used quite a few 8 lbs jugs over the years and currently have 2 unopnend 8lb jugs in my stash and still working on the one i have opened that i luckly bought before the glitch arrived a few years ago.
