Thanks guys. I just ordered 4 pounds. This is the first opportunity I have had to buy Bullseye in over a year.
Now we will just have to see if they back order it.

they charged my credit card within 5 minutes of ordering, appears to be in stock. still shows that they have Bullseye in stock. was great to have it shipped to my local BassPro and saved the shipping cost and hazmat fees ;-)

WOW! I just ordered 5# BullsEye and 4# Green Dot. Has been a long dry spell for those. Kinda expensive at $25.00 per plus hazmat, but shipping was free.

I hope the drought is ending.

Thanks for the heads up. Took advantage of free shipping to store for no hazmat charges... bonus ..:bigsmyl2:

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered 2 lbs 2400. That should last me a while. Free ship to store and no hasmat!

Thanks for posting that. I didn't think about the hazmat in addition to shipping and tax. I called customer service and changed the destination of my order. I can drive to the nearest store a lot cheaper than that.

Well, shucks! My email had a notice this AM that Green Dot was on back order AGAIN. I chatted with customer service and found that IF/WHEN Green Dot was available it would ship to me PDQ, BUT there would be anther haz mat. Closest store to me is Bristol, VA/TN and that would be 3+ hours one way. So, I asked that they substitute BullsEye for the Green Dot at same price and its a done deal (I hope). Now, just what am I gonna do with all that BullsEye? Harrrrr, I know just what to do with powder ;-)

I just loaded up my shopping cart with "in stock" powders,..... Unique, 2400 and Red Dot, and then pulled up online chat with the tech support and they said it was in fact... NOT in stock, and hasn't been. There was some sort of online error with that, and apologized for the confusion.

I need to order and want to make sure if the 2400 is actually there. I need others as well but not as bad as the 2400

Sorry guys. I got the last two pounds of 2400 they had last night. I checked with them and they won't get any more 2400 until December. I almost didn't get it but decided that I would get it while the getting was good. Sorry.

It has been a VERY long dry spell for pistol powder here in southern California !

I just called and had them check my order and she checked, came back and told me none of my order was on back order.

However, I had her put a note on it saying to cancel anything backordered as the hazmat made it not worth it.

I guess I will just have to wait and see what I get.

I really appreciate this post! I have been running dangerously low on unique and have treated my stock as if though it was the last unique on earth! I ordered a few pounds of it and had it shipped to my local store. I really needed some bullseye too, but it just wasn't. In my budget right now...a sick feeling not being able to add it to my order, but I bought several pounds of zip back when it was all I could get so that should fill in for my bullseye type loads for quite a while and too I have plenty other pistol powders in the bin, but unique is my favorite for many applications and thanks to this thread I'm set for a while now. Thanks again for the heads up!

Thanks for this post. I ordered some bullseye yesterday while in tree stand.

thank you posting! Was in the Springfield store Monday and they had a couple of expensive bottles of rifle and BP on the shelves. No pistol powder at all. Was able to order Unique and Bullseye, today, shipping to store so it was as cheap as my LGS charges when he has in stock, which has not been for a long while. (bet he'll have some next week:---) If so, I'll buy another pound or two.
Again thanks for the post!

Picked up my Bullseye this morning. Nice to have some pistol powder on hand I can easily find load data for.
The last 9 months I have been developing data on my own from scratch, with powders not normally thought of as pistol powder.

Got a nice call from a lady at Bass Pro shops explaining why they would have to add a 28$ hasmat fee to my order.

I said yes, no problem was expecting it. Got an email today saying it had shipped, all of it. Grin

Call me a happy camper.

I think both Bass Pro shop and Cabella's got in some rather hefty shipments.

On the plus side my 3 pounds of Red Dot and my primers that I ordered arrived today.

Nice and fast IMO.

Dang, a few years ago I would have taken you up on that. I used to run Donner all of the time. Chaining up in the winter sucked big time and I finally got to the point where if I saw the chain lights go up I turned around and went back to the casino.

Oddly enough several years ago I climbed Kilimanjaro with Ron, the Reno City Manager. Nice guy. Slept in a tent with his daughter in law. She did Burning Man every year.

Bass Pro order came in today and I now have Bullseye and Red Dot. I think I have enough to last about a year. I am thinking of stocking up in case some idiot causes another panic; but hate to promote hoarding. I want some Green Dot and some 231/38 and some Tight Group and and and..... but wants, VS needs?????????

I just picked up 2# of Unique and 2# of 2400 that I ordered on the 16th. While I was there I looked and they had several pounders of different powder so I picked up another 2# of Unique.

This is a great powder day for me. :-D

wife and I drove 20 miles to local BassPro to pick up the 4# of Bullseye that I ordered on the web. Opened the box and found 3 pounds of Bullseye and 1 pound of Unique. After arguing for about 30 minutes with employee from customer service and finally the manager, I decided to tell them to keep the Unique and credit my credit card for the missing 1# of Bullseye. they wanted me to leave the Unique and wait until they get their next order of Bullseye in and then I could drive back and pick up 1#

last year I ordered 20,000 CCI small pistol primers on their website and paid with my credit card. They debited my credit card immediately and they emailed me a week later saying that they ran out of stock ??? Had to sick my credit card company on them to get my money back.

Bonz you should have kept the Unique. I don't use it myself but it has a huge dedicated fan base that would have loved to buy or trade it off you.
