Where's all the powder?

Was the BulletHole Hodgdon's indoor range many moons ago? I tend to remember they were part of Hodgdon's during the 60s at that location. Foggy mind, though! ... felix

I think you are probably right. It seems like there is a Hodgdon's building that shares a parking lot with the BulletHole. I have only been there a couple of times to shoot the USPSA match on Friday nights. They have seemed to have a pretty good stock of reloading supplies. I was able to pick up a pound of WIN231 when no one else in the world seemed to have any.

I just checked at Third Generation Shooters Supply and they list ready to ship:

Promo 8# kegs
700X 1# bottles
7625 1# bottles
Blue Dot 1# 5# bottles
They may have others, there are just the ones I noticed.

I have purchased several other powders from them as of late and had no delays or problems.

I've been checking for months, every time I call a lot of the stuff I normally use is on backorder. I did notice that the Fleet Farm near me has set up a whole new section with reloading supplies (all the powder was out of stock...). Nice though to have another source nearby...

It's starting to show up. Was at a small gun show this weekend and several vendors had only 1 pounders, no larger. And it was priced at $30 a pound, wow. Primers were available too but Winchesters were $35/1000 regardless of type. Glad I don't need any but it is showing up.

Between Cabelas and the 2 LGS i can pretty much get any kind of powder or primers I want here in Eastern Ohio

[tcbnick]

The Bullet Hole has plenty. Last gun show at the airport area had lots.

Bill

Yea, and I bought some at the show, and the prices were only a buck or two higher than mail order and no fee.

[mold maker]

Closest LGS yesterday had 34 flavers at reasonale prices and 3-8 containers each, even the 8lb jugs. Several weeks ago the shelves were nearly bare.
They also had plenty of primers, but at $35./1000..

Might head there tomarrow. I want to check out the new brewery a.nyways

[jonp]

You need to check the sights every night and pull the trigger immediately when you see it. If you order 10lbs or 1 8lb container it works out pricewise

If anyone uses Hodgdon Universal and sees it on the shelf they might want to grab it.

I went shopping here for ADI AP70N which is the same stuff repackaged by Hodgdon as Universal and couldn't find it anywhere then after a little research I discovered this.

Disruptions to powder supply - AP70N
12 August 2013

We regret to inform reloaders that, due to a recent issue with the production of AP70N, there will be a temporary interruption in the supply of AP70N only. Please note that none of our other powders are affected, we continue to produce and stock our entire range of reloading powders. Production of AP70N will resume early in 2014, please continue to check this website for updates. We regret any inconvenience caused by this disruption.

So Universal may be in short supply for a while.

However I had no problem finding an 8lb keg of Unique so it looks like I'll be working up some new loads soon.

[cheetah]

I believe the hoarders started this shortage but I also think our pals, the manufacturers and distributers, jumped on the opportunity to squeeze supply. Components are all over eastern Pennsylvania in time for hunting season at twenty percent over last year.

Plenty of powder where I shop

I just called the Bullet Hole. He said "No Bullseye, No Unique. Haven't seen any since last summer."

[detox]

Elite Pawn, Sigman rd., Conyers ,GA. has new shipment of Bullseye, Unique, 2400, Tightgroup, 4350, 223 CFE and several others. I paid $23.95 for 1 lb of Unique. CCI primers are $37.00

[wistlepig1]

I was at Cabela's (North Denver)today and they had some powder and primers. Primers where $39-$44 a K. At those prices I just walked away!

[jmort]

"Primers where $39-$44 a K. At those prices I just walked away!"

I'd take them. I need 1k SR right now!

[h8dirt]

I just bought a 8# can of Unique. I thought the price of the powder was fair. Shipping + HazMat was about $60. Glad to get the powder. Buy once cry once.

Been picking up powder when/wherever I could find it at a reasonable price for the last few months. Snagged a couple pounds of IMR4895 this morning from a local farm store with a large hunting/fishing dept (Big R in Tilton, IL). Was the first 4895 of either label that I've seen in quite awhile and they also had several other IMRs (4064, 4350, 3031) and a few Hodgens (H335, Varget, HP38) along with some shotgun powders like 700X and Clays. Looks like retail supplies may be coming back around here and prices were only a bucks or two over what I was paying about a year ago.
