    Check out trap clubs. When powder was nowhere to be found I bought red dot and 700x at these places.

    700x is the closest thing there is to Red dot.

    Check Grafs. I think they had 700x plus others.

    I've noticed a large number of scam sites advertising components.

    If you are willing to travel some, call Schanz Supply Inc. down in Otsego. It's been awhile since I was in there, but they have had shotgun powders when no one else did over the last couple of years.

    I concur on the CBI suggestion, although I haven't gotten mine yet (will be able to do local pickup in approx a month); looking forward to extending my existing Red Dot supply with it.
    Even bulkier than Red Dot; my limited research suggests that the burning rate could be comparable to Trail Boss.
    Easy to ignite, since it's an ignitor ? lol we'll see I guess. :-/

    FYI, Using Quickload I estimated that you will use around 40% more CBI to get the same velocity as compared to Red Dot.

    Not for me then... Really... Trail Boss fills such a very narrow usage that I may Not replenish!!

    I concur with using 700-X.
