I've seen people on various forums bemoaning the scarcity of 2400. I've seen it pop up a couple times lately, Natchez has it now.

Rambling:
I got 4lb of it in 2019? near the beginning of my reloading adventure, specifically for reduced rifle loads. I like it in 30-30 with 165gr plain base lead. Because of it's suitability for that purpose, I'm saving it for that. I tried it in 357 when I finally got one (S&W 586 4"), and I liked it but in limited testing didn't find it to be vastly better than True Blue with coated 158 or H110 with j-words. So I'm saving it for the 30-30.

More rambling about 357 powders:
I still need to try AA#9 and N110. Mayyybe IMR4227 if it turns up. Or Shooters World Heavy Pistol (alternative to AA#9)
Cheers,

$340 for 8, 1 lb bottles. There were sales before it hit the fan with 8lb kegs at $128.

Thanks anyway!

I am seeing more powder and primers( more is a relative term) recently but the price is high. That said another 1000 lrp and I’d be set for life. Maybe some 209’s also.
