    Too many ! someday i have to use up my rarely used powders that i bought to experiment with or no longer use that often , Example! I still have 4lbs of WAP left over from a 8lb jug that has been discontinued for years.

    In the last few months i finished of some WSF and 1680 powders and still have a few more to go, unique, blue dot , 2400, H-4227, 3031, 4064, and reloader-22 to use up with no restocking of that type.

    Not restocking 2400 and 3031 would seem like I was out of powder. lol

    Looks like not much Vihtavuori or Ramshot powders. Still have a pound of n110, n540, Zip and True blue to use up.

    Somehow i have gotten through 40+ years of loading mostly pistols and rifles with hardly using the the above 8 powder,s , except WSF .

    How many powders in your cupboard?

    I keep hearing all this talk about a shortage. I am not foolish enough to post what I have on hand. I used to stock only a few. But I've added more firearms to the safe. And while the powders I have will work there were better options. So I picked up powders specifically for those firearms. Didn't have any issues finding them either as I wasn't in a hurry and bought when I found them. Which was w/in a few weeks, no more than a month.

    May not be a shortage, but if a guy wants a certain powder, he had better be grabing it the day it hits town here. lol It has been a year before we had a one day run of 2400, pretty much the same for unique. It is very rare we see any dots at all. Rifle powders have been coming in fairly often, but pistol and shotgun not so much. I bought my limit a year ago, and got my wife to also get the limit on 2400, 2 pounds each. I shared it with another member that could not get any, and even though I check several times a week, have not seen any more in the stores. I did get restocked not long ago, but it was from an individual that had had it for years.

    Maybe I need to get out more but cupboards are bare at LGS when I have checked and my house is down to Unique. Unless you count stuff stored in small brass canisters.
    Still waiting on an order from Lohmans made on 7/22 They said up to 12 weeks and that would be about 1 more week. Hoping it's soon.

    Trail Boss, Bullseye, SR4756, Unique, Blue Dot, H-110, Lil Gun. Trimming to Unique, Blue Dot, and Lil Gun.
    AAC5744, AAC2015, IMR 4064, IMR 4350. Only the 5744 is going away.
    There are some partials and some full pounds that I'll trade off for something I need.
    If I had to, I could get by with AAC2015 or IMR4064 and Unique, but I don't have to.
