Fast Powder?

[Airman Basic]

Anybody else having trouble finding fast powder? I prefer Bullseye and Unique, but I'd settle for 231 or HP38. Been looking for several months now. Seems all I can find is 4227 and slower. Alliant rifle powders, but not Bullseye. Maybe they produce in batches, and slow stuff is in the pipeline right now?

I had a friend at the last gun show in B'ham that paid over $200 for the only 8 lb. caddy of B'Eye that was in the show.

Some powders are very difficult to find right now. ( along with a lot of other ammo , reloading items )

the powders do seem to roll in in waves.
recently I have seen unique [nabbed 8 pounds] and red-dot but no rifle powders.

Since they sell quickly aren't they all fast right now?

Haven't looked in a month or so but local major gun shop here had a reasonable supply of powders. Shotgun powders here were never in short supply and since they work well in handguns that is what I buy. Eight pounds of Promo for 100 bucks.

I have not seen a real shortage of pistol powders, with 231, HP38, and 296 all on the shelf at the local store.

Luckily, I am sitting on 24lb of 231, 16lb of Unique, and 16lb of 296, so I havent paid just a whole lot of attention.

Haven't seen Unique on a shelve in a long time around here.

Powder Valley has 8 lb jugs of "PB" in stock right now; that's about the only fast powder they have.

My experience as well.

The only thing that's fast anymore is how it flies OFF the shelf once it DOES get stocked !!!

Midsouth above will allow you to buy it on backorder and send it out when they get it in...
